constable of See also:France, was See also:born at See also:Saint-See also:Bonnet de Champsaur on the 1st of See also:April 1543, of a See also:family of notaries with pretensions to See also:nobility. He was educated at See also:Avignon under a See also:Protestant See also:tutor, and had begun the study of See also:law in See also:Paris when he enlisted as an See also:archer. He served under the See also:lieutenant-See also:general of his native See also:province of See also:Dauphine, See also:Bertrand de Simiane, See also:baron de Gordes, but when the See also:Huguenots raised troops in Dauphine Lesdiguieres threw in his See also:lot with them, and under his kinsman See also:Antoine See also:Rambaud. de Furmeyer, whom he succeeded in 1570, distinguished himself in the See also:mountain warfare that followed by his bold yet prudent handling of troops.

Henry IV. of See also:Navarre. Warned of the impending See also:massacre he retired hastily to Dauphine, where he secretly equipped and drilled a determined See also:body of Huguenots, and in 1575, after the See also:execution of See also:Montbrun, became the acknowledged See also:leader of the Huguenot resistance in the See also:district with the See also:title of commandant general, confirmed in 1577 by See also:Marshal Doraville, by See also:Conde in 1580,and by Henry of Navarre in 1582. He seized See also:Gap by a lucky See also:night attack on the 3rd of See also:January 1577, re-established the reformed See also:religion there, and fortified the See also:town. He refused to acquiesce in the treaty of See also:Poitiers (1578) which involved the surrender of Gap, and after two years of fighting secured better terms for the province. Nevertheless in 158o he was compelled to See also:hand the See also:place over to See also:Mayenne and to see the fortifications dismantled. He took up arms for Henry IV. in 1585, capturing Chorges, See also:Embrun, See also:Chateauroux and other places, and after the truce of 1588—1589 secured the See also:complete submission of Dauphine. In 1590 he See also:beat down the resistance of See also:Grenoble, and was now able to threaten the leaguers and to support the See also:governor of See also:Provence against the raids of See also:Charles See also:Emmanuel I. of See also:Savoy. He defeated the Savoyards at Esparron in April 1591, and in 1592 began the reconquest of the marquessate of See also:Saluzzo which had been seized by Charles Emmanuel. After his defeat of the See also:Spanish See also:allies of Savoy at Salebertrano in See also:June 1593 there was a truce, during which Lesdiguieres was occupied in maintaining the royal authority against Eperon in Provence. The See also:war with Savoy proceeded intermittently until 16os, when Henry IV. concluded See also:peace, much to the dissatisfaction of Lesdiguieres. The See also:- KING

king regarded his lieutenant's domination in Dauphine with some distrust, although he was counted among the best of his captains. Nevertheless he made him a marshal of France in 1609, and ensured the See also:succession to the lieutenant-generalship of Dauphine, vested in Lesdiguieres since 1597, to his son-in-law Charles de See also:Crequy. Sincerely devoted to the See also:throne, Lesdiguieres took no See also:part in the intrigues which disturbed the minority of See also:- LOUIS

Louis XIII., and he moderated the See also:political claims made by his co-religionists under the terms of the See also:Edict of See also:Nantes. After the See also:death of his first wife, Claudine de See also:Berenger, he married the widow of Ennemond Matel, a Grenoble shopkeeper, who was murdered in 1617. Lesdiguieres was then 73, and this See also:lady, See also:Marie Vignon, had See also:long been his See also:mistress. He had two daughters, one of whom, Frangoise, married Charles de Crequy. In 1622 he formally abjured the Protestant faith, his See also:conversion being partly due to the See also:influence of Marie Vignon. He was already a See also:duke and peer of France; he now became constable of France, and received the See also:- ORDER

order of the Saint Esprit. He had long since lost the confidence of the Huguenots, but he nevertheless helped the Vaudois against the duke of Savoy. Lesdiguieres had the qualities of a See also:great general, but circumstances limited him to the mountain warfare of Dauphine, Provence and Savoy. He had almost unvarying success through sixty years of fighting. His last See also:campaign, fought in See also:alliance with Savoy to drive the Spaniards from the Valtelline, was the least successful of his enterprises. He died of See also:fever at See also:Valence on the 21st of See also:September 1626.
The See also:life of the Huguenot See also:captain has been written in detail by Ch. Dufuyard, Le Connetable de Lesdiguibres (Paris, 1892). His first biographer was his secretary Louis Videl, Histoire de la See also:vie du connestable de Lesdiguibres (Paris, 1638). Much of his See also:official See also:correspondence, with an admirable See also:sketch of his life, is contained in Actes et correspondance du connetable de Lesdiguieres, edited by See also:Comte See also:Douglas and J. See also:Roman in Documents historiques inedits pour servii a l'histoire de Dauphine (Grenoble, 1878). Other letters are in the Lettres et memoires (Paris, 1647) of Duplessis-See also:Mornay.

Additional information and Comments
It'd be nice to have a copy of this article. One of my grands -- Claude d'Armand de Chateauvieux -- commanded a detachment of 100 foot soldiers under Lesdiguieres. Family tradition is that Claude was charged with protecting one of the Dolphins -- which I suppose would have been young Louis (XIII), if there's anything to that story. Just trying to sort this out.
