In 1600 he took See also:part in the brief See also:campaign in See also:Savoy, and in 1603 fought in See also:Hungary for the See also:emperor against the See also:Turks.

His services during the Huguenot rising of 1621-22 won for him the dignity of See also:marshal of See also:France. He was with the See also:army of the king during the See also:siege of La Rochelle in 1628, and in 1629 distinguished himself in the campaign against the rebels of See also:Languedoc. In 1615 Bassompierre had See also:purchased from See also:Henri, duc de See also:Rohan (1579-1638), the coveted position of See also:colonel-See also:general of the Swiss and See also:Grisons; on this See also:account he was sent to raise troops in See also:Switzerland when Louis XIII. marched against Savoy in 1629, and after a See also:short campaign in Italy his military career ended. As a diplomatist his career was a failure. In 1621 he went to See also:Madrid as See also:envoy extraordinary to arrange the dispute concerning the seizure of the Valteline forts by See also:Spain, and signed the fruitless treaty of Madrid. In 1625 he was sent into Switzerland on an equally futile See also:mission, and in 1626 to See also:London to secure the retention of the See also:Catholic ecclesiastics and attendants of Henrietta Maria, wife of See also:Charles I. The See also:personal See also:influence of Henry IV. had deterred Bassompierre from a See also:marriage with See also:Charlotte de See also:Montmorency, daughter of the See also:- CONSTABLE (0.

His See also:share was only a slight one, but his wife was an intimate friend of Marie de' Medici, and her hostility to the See also:cardinal aroused his suspicions. By Richelieu's orders, Bassompierre was arrested at Senlis on the 25th of See also:February 1631, and put into the See also:Bastille, where he remained until Richelieu's See also:death in 1643.
