A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Parthenai, (Anne de)
PARTHENAI (ANNE DE), Wife of Antony de Pons, Count of Marennes, and amongst the brightest Ornaments of the court of Renée de France, Duchess of Ferrara, Daughter of Lewis XII.
The protectress of learning, and the delight of every society into which she entered, Anne de Parthenai had a fine voice, and knew music perfectly. She understood Greek and Latin, and took great pleasure in conversing with theologians, and reading the scriptures, which induced her to turn protestant. We are ignorant of the time of her death.
