Life

Early life

She was born Nicolette Boellet (or Boylet) in the village of Corbie, in the Picardy region of France, on 13 January 1381^[1] to Robert Boellet, a poor carpenter at the noted Benedictine Abbey of Corbie, and to his wife, Marguerite Moyon.

Her contemporary biographers say that her parents had grown old without having children, before praying to Saint Nicholas for help in having a child. Their prayers were answered when, at the age of 60, Marguerite gave birth to a daughter.
