Idelette de Bure was the wife of [[Calvin, John (1509-1564)|John Calvin]], whom she married in August 1540, at [[Strasbourg (Alsace, France)|Strasbourg]] in [[Alsace (France)|Alsace]]. She was for a time an [[Anabaptism|Anabaptist]], and had previously been married to an Anabaptist of [[Liège (Liège, Belgium)|Liege]], [[Stordeur, Jean (16th century)|Jean Stordeur]] (also called Storder and Stordene), who died of the plague. After the birth of a son Jacque in 1542, who lived only a few days, Idelette slowly succumbed, and died on 29 March 1549. Little is known about her life; but Calvin's loss is seen in a letter of 2 April 1549 to his friend [[Farel, Guillaume (1489-1565)|Farel]] in [[Neuchâtel (Switzerland)|Neuchätel]]. (Schwarz)

Whether Idelette contributed to the Anabaptist influence on Calvin, which some believe is evident in Calvin's strict [[Discipline, Church|church discipline]], is uncertain. It is true that soon after his arrival in Strasbourg in 1538 Calvin made contacts with the Anabaptists, and that some of the French Anabaptist refugees, finding it difficult to understand their German-speaking brethren, joined the French church which Calvin organized here, a step which was perhaps made easier because Calvin introduced into his church one of the principal Anabaptist demands, i.e., strict church discipline. But there is no concrete evidence of Idelette's part in this.

N. Weiss, professor and librarian at the universityof Strasbourg, reports that a portrait of Idelette was extant at Fontenay, rue Roses 1907. The picture is a photographic copy of a painting on wood; it shows her unusually sharp features and long nose.

Idelette was probably the daughter of Lambert van Buren, who with his daughter, her husband Jean Stordeur, and a few others, was expelled from [[Liège (Liège, Belgium)|Liége]], [[Belgium|Belgium]] in 1533, because they were Anabaptists. They moved to Strasbourg, where Stordeur and his wife were converted by John Calvin.
