Henri I de Montmorency (15 June 1534, Chantilly, Oise - 2 April 1614), Marshal of France, and Constable of France, seigneur of Damville, served as governor of Languedoc from 1563 to 1614. As ''Gouverneur'', Damville came as the head of an army into Toulouse for nine months in 1570 and was chastized by the ''capitouls'' for letting Catholic property fall into the hands of a passing Protestant army without taking action. They accused him of being betraying the city and being in league with Protestants like his cousin Admiral Coligny. Damville responded by arresting four ''bourgeois'' and sending them to Paris with charges of slander.〔 Damville also placed a ''procureur-général'' on the ''Parlement'' of Toulouse who was suspected of Protestantism.〔 When Damville went into revolt in October 1574 (aligning with the Protestants of lower Languedoc) he was deprived of his office by the ''Parlement'' of Toulouse, and arrests were made of his associates charged with conspiracy against the king.〔 He became Duke of Montmorency on his brother's death in 1579. As a leader of the party called the ''Politiques'' he took a prominent part in the French Wars of Religion. In 1593 he was made constable of France, but Henry IV showed some anxiety to keep him away from Languedoc, which he ruled like a sovereign prince. ==Issue== With his first wife, he had two daughters: * Charlotte de Montmorency (1571-1636), married in 1591 Charles de Valois, Duke of Angoulême and had issue; * Marguerite de Montmorency (1577-1660), married in 1593 her cousin Anne de Lévis, Duke of Ventadour (died 1622); they were the paternal grandparents of Louis Charles de Lévis. With his second wife, he had two children: * Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency; * Henri II de Montmorency. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henri I de Montmorency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
