          Anne "Ninon" de l'Enclos, also spelled Ninon de Lenclos and Ninon de Lanclos (10 November 1620[1] – 17 October 1705), was a French author, courtesan and patron of the arts.[2]

          Early life

          Born Anne de l'Enclos in Paris on 10 November 1620,[1] she was nicknamed "Ninon" at an early age by her father, Henri de l'Enclos, a lutenist and published composer, who taught her to sing and play the lute.[3] In 1632, he was exiled from France after a duel.

          When Ninon's mother, Marie Barbe de la Marche, died ten years later, the unmarried Ninon entered a convent, only to leave the next year. For the remainder of her life she was determined to remain unmarried and independent.[4]
