Everything about Laura Martinozzi totally explained
Laura Martinozzi (
May 27 1639 -
July 19 1687) was the
regent of the
Duchy of Modena and Reggio in the name of her son,
Francesco. She was born in
Fano to
Cardinal Mazarin's eldest sister, also named Laura, and
Girolamo Martinozzi, an Italian noble. She was one of the
Mazarinettes - the seven nieces of the Cardinal that he brought to
France in order to arrange for them rich and politically advantageous marriages.
In 1655, Laura was married to the
Duke of Modena,
Alfonso IV d'Este. They had two children:
Maria Beatrice d'Este (1658-1718), who would married the future King
James II of England, and
Francesco (1660-1694), who was the
Duke of Modena and Reggio from 1662 to 1694.
Laura was abandoned by her son and died in
Rome in 1687, shortly before the birth of her grandson,
James Francis Edward. She was buried in the Este chapel of the Church of San Vincenzo at
Modena.
