A seldom known hero of the faith
Renee of France- had it not been for The Banner I'd have never heard of her!
Betrayed by her own husband who was eager to please the Pope, she went to jail for her reformed faith and refused to recant, she only cracked when she had the threat of her two children being taken away from her, but I have no doubt she'd have died for her faith on Christ.
When she returned to France the persecution appeared to have died down and she took the teaching of Luke 12:33 more literally than anyone I've read about and used the castle she was given to house and help Protestants fleeing persecution.
Such a complicated life she lived with her marriage, etc but lived amazingly to God's glory and she will be a fascinating person to meet in heaven!
