Biography

Gouffier de Boisy was born in 1482 to Guillaume Gouffier, Lord of Boisy and Philippa de Montmorency.[1] She was a sister of Artus Gouffier, Lord of Boissy, Adrian Gouffier de Boissy, and Guillaume Gouffier, seigneur de Bonnivet. She was a first cousin of Anne de Montmorency.[2]

In 1503 she married Rene de Cossé, Lord of Cossé and Brissac. She was the mother of Charles de Cossé, Count of Brissac and the grandmother of Charles II de Cossé, Duke of Brissac.

In 1518 she was appointed as the Governess of the Children of France, a post previously held by Guillemette de Sarrebruck. As royal governess she was in charge of the education of the children of Francis I of France.[3]

gollark: The problem with spaces is that you can’t actually see them. So you can’t be sure they’re correct. Also they aren’t actually there anyway - they are the absence of code. “Anti-code” if you will. Too many developers format their code “to make it more maintainable” (like that’s actually a thing), but they’re really just filling the document with spaces. And it’s impossible to know how spaces will effect your code, because if you can’t see them, then you can’t read them. Real code wizards know to just write one long line and pack it in tight. What’s that you say? You wrote 600 lines of code today? Well I wrote one, and it took all week, but it’s the best. And when I hand this project over to you next month I’ll have solved world peace in just 14 lines and you will be so lucky to have my code on your screen <ninja chop>.

gollark: Remove the call stack and do trampolining or something?

gollark: Yes, I think this is possible.

gollark: (ethically)

gollark: I might convert you into muons.
