a French prelate and general, was born at Tours in 1589. He was for a long time a valiant captain of the Knights of Malta. At the siege of Montauban he attracted the attention of Louis XIII, who assigned him a company of cavalry in his regiment. After the capture of La Rochelle, where he commanded as vice-admiral, he became major-general. Immediately after the restoration of peace he returned to Malta.
