Diane d'Andouins (1554-1620), Countess of Gramont, was a prominent French noblewoman renowned for her beauty, intellect, and influence during the late Renaissance period. Born into the distinguished Andouins family, she was the daughter of Paul d'Andouins and Marguerite de Cauna. Diane's life was marked by her close association with the French court and her romantic liaison with King Henry IV of France, which earned her the affectionate moniker "La Belle Corisande," bestowed upon her by the poet Melchior Peronard.

Diane's marriage to Philibert de Gramont, Count of Gramont, further elevated her status within the French aristocracy. The union produced several children, thereby securing the family's legacy. Despite her marital ties, Diane's relationship with Henry IV, then King of Navarre, was a significant aspect of her life. Their affair, which began in the 1570s, was well-documented and celebrated in contemporary literature and poetry. Diane's influence over Henry IV was notable; she was not only his lover but also a trusted confidante and advisor during a tumultuous period marked by religious wars and political strife.

Diane d'Andouins was also known for her patronage of the arts and her intellectual pursuits. She was a muse to many poets and writers of her time, who extolled her beauty and wit in their works. Her salon became a hub for intellectual and artistic exchange, attracting some of the most prominent figures of the era. Diane's legacy as "La Belle Corisande" endures in the annals of French history, symbolizing the intricate interplay of power, romance, and cultural patronage that characterized the Renaissance nobility.

Her later years were spent in relative seclusion, away from the political intrigues of the court. Diane d'Andouins passed away in 1620, leaving behind a legacy that continues to fascinate historians and admirers of French Renaissance culture.
