Imperia Cognati
Imperia Cognati (also called Imperia La Divina, meaning ''Imperia The Divine'', or ''The Queen of Courtesans'', 3 August 1486 - 15 August 1512), was a Roman courtesan. She is counted as the first famous courtesan in Europe. The term courtesan is said to have been created for her. She was the first celebrity of the class of courtesans, which was created in Rome in the late 15th century.
== Historical background ==
In the 15th century, the courtiers of the Papal court begun with the habit of hiring female escorts to accompany them in court life. As the Papal courtiers were clerics who were banned from marrying, the women they consorted with could not be marriageable, but at the same time, they must be educated and know their etiquette to be able to converse and participate in formal court life. This was the development of a new class of prostitutes in Christian Europe: the courtesan, which then spread from Rome to other parts of Europe, and Imperia was to become the first famous representative of this new type of prostitute. Courtesans by custom kept a main client as a steady supporter, but openly entertained also others as temporary clients.
