Guigone de Salins (1403-1470) was a member of the nobility in the state of Burgundy in Early Modern France. A well-known philanthropist in her time, she founded the Hospices de Beaune in 1443 with her husband Nicolas Rolin, chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy. == Biographie == Guigone de Salins was born into the land-owning family Salins-la-Tour in Jura (part of the commune Salins-les-Bains in the Free County of Burgundy). She is the third child of Étienne de Salins-la-Tour and Louise de Rye. In 1421, at the age of 18, she married Nicolas Rolin, who was 47 years old at the time of their marriage, and had been married twice previously. Rolin was a wealthy chancellor to Duke Philippe le Bon (ruler of the State of Burgundy). Together they had three children: Louise, Claudine and Antoine Rollin. She inspired her husband to participate in works of charity, and in 1443 they founded the Hospices de Beaune, or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune. This was created as a hospital for the poor, and is unique for its time in its secular approach. Salins furnished the rooms of the hospital with art so that the sick could feel as though they were being treated in a comfortable, even palatial environment. After the death of her husband in 1462, Salins continued to direct the Hôtel-Dieu until the end of her life in 1470, and it remained open to serve the poor and sick until the 1960s. She is buried in the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guigone de Salins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
