Madeleine Fernel

Not the same as Magdalene Guedeville

Biography

Madeleine Fernel was the younger daughter of Jean Fernel, physician at the court of the Kings of France, and his wife Madeleine Tornebüe.

Her birth date is not known. It is estimated here as 4 years after the marriage of her parents (1531). The date and place of 1 May 1544 at Caen, Calvados, France comes from the fraudulent Fernald genealogy published by Charles Augustus Fernald, and must be discounted.

Madeleine, died perhaps at Fontainebleau in 1558, and her husband Jean apparently only survived her by a month and died there on 26 April 1558. He was buried in the Church of Saint-Jacques de la Bourcherie in Paris.[1]
