Jeanne de Gontaut, Countess of Noailles (c.1520- 26 September 1586), was a French noblewoman and the wife of Antoine de Noailles, Admiral of France and French Ambassador to England from 1553 to 1556. Following her husband's death in 1562, Jeanne became a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother of France, Catherine de Medici. == Family and marriage == She was born in France, the daughter of Raymond de Gontaut, Seigneur de Cabrerès and Françoise de Bonafos, Dame de Lentour. On 31 May 1540, after four years of courtship, a contract was signed for her marriage to Antoine de Noailles, 1st Count of Noailles. Her father was against the match in the beginning, however, 12 lettres de cachet from King Francis I persuaded him to give his consent.〔Kathy Lynn Emerson, ''A Who's Who of Tudor Women'', sourced from R.
