The conspiracy was discovered; Biron and Auvergne were arrested and Biron was executed. Auvergne after a few months' imprisonment was released, chiefly through the See also:influence of his See also:half-See also:sister, his aunt, the duchess of Angouleme and his father-in-See also:law. He then entered into fresh intrigues with the See also:court of See also:Spain, acting in See also:concert with the marchioness of Verneuil and her father d'Entragues. In 1604 d'Entragues and he were arrested and condemned to See also:death; at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

She easily obtained See also:pardon, and the See also:sentence of death against the other two was commuted into perpetual imprisonment. Auvergne remained in the See also:Bastille for eleven years, from 1605 to 1616. A See also:decree of the See also:parlement (1606), obtained by See also:Marguerite de Valois, deprived him of nearly all his possessions, including Auvergne, though he still retained the title. In 1616 he was released, was restored to his See also:rank of colonel-See also:general of horse, and despatched against one of the disaffected nobles, the duke of See also:Longueville, who had taken Peronne. Next year he commanded the forces collected in the Ile de France, and obtained some successes. In 1619 he received by See also:bequest, ratified in 1620 byroyal See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

His first wife died in 1636, and in 1644 he married Francoise de See also:Narbonne, daughter of Charles, See also:baron of Mareuil. She had no See also:children and survived her See also:husband until 1713. Angouleme himself died on the 24th of See also:September 1650.
