His See also:personal See also:appearance, his affectation of popular See also:manners, his quality of grandson (legitimized), of Henry IV., rendered him a favouriteof the Parisians, who acclaimed him everywhere.

Henceforth Beaufort no longer intrigued. In 1658 he was named See also:general See also:superintendent of See also:navigation, or See also:chief of the See also:naval army, and faithfully served the king in naval See also:wars from that on. In 1664 he directed the expedition against the pirates of See also:Algiers. In 1669 he led the French troops defending See also:Candia against the See also:Turks, and was killed in a See also:night sortie, on the 15th of
