Van wie was Odette de Champdivers?

Odette de Champdivers (French pronunciation: [ɔdɛt də ʃɑ̃divɛʁ]; also known as Oudine or Odinette; c. 1390 – c. 1425) was the chief mistress of Charles VI of France (the Mad). She was called la petite reine ("the little queen") by Charles and contemporaries.

According to Georges Bordonove, "Odette was the daughter of a maître d'hôtel (butler) of the King's Household, certain Guyot de Champdivers", who in fact was her brother. The messages of Père Anselme established her as a daughter of Odin or Oudin de Champdivers, who around 1387 was equerry stableman (Latin: marescallus equorum) at the court of King Charles VI.

She features in the novel Isabel de Bavière (1835) by Alexandre Dumas.

Karel VI, bijgenaamd de Waanzinnige (Frans: Charles le Fou) (Parijs, 3 december 1368 – aldaar, 21 oktober 1422) was gedurende 42 jaar koning van Frankrijk, van 1380 tot aan zijn dood. Hij was een zoon van Karel V de Wijze uit het huis Valois en Johanna van Bourbon.
