N2  - We are all quite familiar with Marie of France, Countess of Champagne who was, as far as we can tell, the patron of Chrétien de Troyes, Gautier d’Arras, and probably also of Andreas Capellanus. From the historical perspective, we cannot tell too much about her, except that she appears to have ruled relatively independently and was a great supporter of the arts. Theodore Evergates now provides a kind of biography of this significant person, as far as this is possible on the basis of relatively scant documentation.
