Saint Jeanne de Valois was briefly Queen of France as wife of King Louis XII, in between the death of her brother, King Charles VIII, and the annulment of her marriage. After that, she retired to her domain, where she soon founded the monastic Order of the Sisters of the Annunciation of Mary, where she served as abbess. From this Order later sprang the religious congregation of the Apostolic Sisters of the Annunciation, founded in 1787 to teach the children of the poor. © <a href="/wiki/User:JeanBono" class="mw-redirect" title="User:JeanBono" target="_blank">Xavier Caré</a>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<a href="/wiki/Main_Page" title="Main Page" target="_blank">Wikimedia Commons</a> <br /> <h1 style="color:red"><b>WARNING!</b></h1> <p style="color:red">This file is copyrighted and has been released under a license which is incompatible with Facebook's licensing terms. <br /> <b>It is not permitted to upload this file at Facebook.</b></p>
