Les Amours de Cassandre was a work by Cassandra Salivate (1530 - 1607) written in the time of the French King Francis I. Ronsard , evidently, was in love with a woman of a superior social rank. Unfortunately he was a tonsured monk and the lady later married another. In his writings she became a muse and the subject of admiration and Platonic love.
