Heloise d'Argenteuil was born around 1090 in modern-day France to commoner parents. In her youth, she became renowned throughout Western Europe for her intelligence and scholarship of Latin, Greek and Hebrew (at a time when women scholars were *extremely* rare). Her guardian, her uncle Fulbert, put her under the tutorship of one of the most popular philosophers and teachers in Paris, Pierre Abelard. He was intrigued by her intelligence and beauty, and quickly sought out to seduce her. He succeed and soon Heloise bore him a son, Astrolabius. Abelard tried to keep the relationship a secret so as to not damage his reputation, but Fulbert quickly caught wind of it. Enraged that Abelard would take advantage of his niece, Fulbert attacked him in his sleep. Heloise was sent to a convent, where she spent the rest of her life as a nun.Description | Link | Type | Not mirrored because |
