High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! La Belle Châteauneuf, the name popularly given to Renée de Rieux, daughter of Jean de Rieux, seigneur de Châteauneuf, who was descended from one of the greatest families of Brittany. The dates of her birth and death are not known. She was maid of honor to the queen-mother Catherine de' Medici and inspired an ardent passion in the duke of Anjou, brother of Charles IX. This intrigue deterred the duke from the marriage which it was desired to arrange for him with Elizabeth of England; but he soon abandoned Chateauneuf for Marie of Cleves (1571).
