288:, the subsequent lord. According to tradition, Claudine was present during the murder of her son by her other son. She is said to have mourned Jean openly after his death, thereby demonstrating her opinion about his murder to his murderer and successor, her own son Lucien. Although her devotion to her son Jean was well-understood, particularly when she insisted on being buried beside him, she was also devoted to Lucien, whose claim of self-defense she believed.
292:
that it did not result to a change in dynasty: she also reinstated her granddaughter Marie
Grimaldi (daughter of Jean II) in the succession, despite Lucien having forced her to renounce her claims upon her marriage. As Claudine was not regarded as a ruler since 1458, the fact that she could make a will of her rights to the throne, regulating succession, is curious fact in regards to her legal position.

272:
however, Lambert saw it necessary to obtain the consent of
Claudine to govern and regulate the will of succession after his death. This was in effect her renunciation of her rights and her consent to Lambert's use of them. Nevertheless, Lambert did include her name when he proclaimed his sovereignty over the rebellious province of Mentone, which was not completely subdued until 1491.

supported by the population. On 20 October therefore, Pomellina saw herself forced to sign a statement in which she was to share the power of regency with
Lambert. Pomellina then prepared to have Lambert ousted and killed in a coup in collaboration with Pierre Fregoso and Pierre Grimaldi, Lord of Beuil, the latter of whom she promised to make the father-in-law of Claudine.

son, Jean
Grimaldi,' she made no objection to Lucien inheriting the three seigniories--for she could have revoked the deed making them over to Lambert, and reclaimed her rights. Moreover, she always showed a fondness for Lucien. In this she was followed by all the family, who never hesitated to back up Lucien and assist him whenever necessary.
271:
The marriage between
Claudine and Lambert took place on 29 August 1465 in Vintimille. The marriage between Claudine and Lambert has traditionally been described as a happy one. There is not much information about whether she ever participated in politics during her tenure as lady consort. In 1483,
229:
The succession of Monaco was regulated by her paternal grandfather Jean I, who allowed for female succession provided that a female heir kept her own name
Grimaldi after marriage and passed it on to her children, and that her husband should take the name and arms of his wife. Claudine's position as

Lucien's version is supported by the subsequent attitude of his family towards him. Although
Claudine (who, according to tradition, was present at the murder) retained her affection for her first-born, and in her will asked to be buried in the church of St Nicholas at Menton beside her 'well-beloved

Claudine died in 1515 during Lucien's reign. In her will, she stated that her rights to the three provinces of the
Lordship of Monaco was to be passed on to her children in accordance with the succession order stated in the will of her father and grandfather, securing female succession on condition

The rights of
Claudine were rather blurred. Lambert regarded himself as having conquered the throne of Monaco and he had legally taken possession of Claudine's rights with public approval, and Claudine was thus no longer regarded as ruler in her own right but was essentially deposed. The dynastic

In March 1458, the plot was staged, but
Lambert managed to escape: with the support of the population of Menton and Roquebrune, he deposed Pomellina's regency government, confined her to her house in Menton, and had himself declared sovereign Lord as well as the regent and possessor of the rights of

In July 1457, Catalan died when Claudine was at the age of six, and her paternal grandmother Pomellina Fregoso duly became regent of Monaco in accordance with the written will of her son. However, Claudine's fiancé Lambert opposed the will and demanded part of the regency, and his demand was

In his will, he stated that he was to be succeeded by his daughter Claudine who (to adjust to the will of his father that a female ruler was not to result in a change in dynasty), was to marry her seventh cousin

On January 1460, a plot staged by Pomellina, Pierre de Beuil and the count de Tende (again with Claudine and her dynastic rights in the center) resulted in an attack on Monaco and Lambert's rule, which failed.

He and Claudine soon became a united couple, and they had many children--fourteen in fact--the last being born almost at the end of Lambert's life.
