Margaret De La Marck-Arenberg
Margaret de La Marck-Arenberg (1527–1599) was a ruling countess of Arenberg from 1544 to 1599. She was the daughter of Robert II van der Marck van Arenberg (1506–1536) and Walburga van Egmond (1500–1547) and the sister of Robert III von der Marck-Arenberg. Her father died in 1541, and was succeeded by her brother. Because her brother was childless, she was his heir. In 1544, her brother died and she succeeded him. In 1547, she married Jean de Ligne, Duke of Arenberg (1520–1568). To prevent her dynasty to die with her because of her gender, the emperor permitted for her spouse and children to bear her name, which was normally not permitted. Her husband became her co-ruler, and she appears not to have been very active in the government while he was alive . Margaret took control over the state affairs and ruled the County of Arenberg after the death of her spouse in 1576. Her rule is described as efficient and successful. She managed the affairs of the County via corr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dame D'atour
''Dame d'atour'' was an office at the royal court of France. It existed in nearly all French courts from the 16th-century onward. The ''dame d'honneur'' was selected from the members of the highest French nobility. History At least from the Isabeau of Bavaria's tenure as queen, there had been a post named ''demoiselle d'atour'' or ''femme d'atour'', but this had originally been the title of the queen's chambermaids and divided among several people. The office of ''dame d'atour'', created in 1534, was one of the highest-ranking offices among the ladies-in-waiting of the queen and given only to members of the nobility.Nadine Akkerman & Birgit Houben, eds.
