Henriette de Coligny de La Suze
Henriette de Coligny de La Suze (1618[1] – March 10, 1673) was a French writer.[2]
She was the daughter of Gaspard III de Coligny and Anne de Polignac.[1] She was married twice: first, in 1643, to Thomas Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Haddington,[3] who died in February 1645, and then, in 1647,[4] to Gaspard de Champagne, comte de la Suze. Originally a Protestant, she converted to Catholicism in 1653. Her second marriage was annulled in 1661 on the grounds of impotence.[1]
In 1666, she published a collection of 21 of her poems as Poésies de Madame la Comtesse de La Suze but she also contributed verse and prose to many other collected works.[4] Ninety-five of her poems appear in "L'amour raisonnable", part of Recueil de pièces galantes en prose et en vers; each poem is preceded by a preamble in prose.[1]
De La Suze was admired by the writers Madeleine de Scudéry and Paul Pellisson.[1]
