Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Gallant of Lorraine, Vol. 1 of 2: Francois, Seigneur De Bassompierre, Marquis D'har Marechal De France (1579-1646) Although the Memoires of the Marechal de Bassompierre are acknowledged to be one of the chief authorities for the history of France during the early part of the seventeenth century, they have never been translated into English, nor, if we except the charming but all too brief sketch of the marshal by Comte Boudet de Puymaigre in his Poetes et Romanciers de la Lorraine (Paris, 1848), has any biography of their author yet been attempted. That such should be the case is certainly very surprising, since seldom can a man have led so eventful a life, or played so many different parts with distinction, as did Francois de Bassompierre. Soldier, courtier, diplomatist, gallant and wit, he was to the Courts of Henri IV and Louis XIII very much what the celebrated Marechal de Richelieu was to that of Louis XV, and when on that fatal February day in 1631 the gates of the Bastille closed upon him, not to reopen for twelve long years, one of the most interesting careers in French history practically terminated. In my endeavour to give a full and authentic account of this career, I have naturally found my chief source of information in Bassompierre sown Memoires, which he wrote, or rather arranged and revised, during his imprisonment in the Bastille; but I have also consulted a large number of other works, both contemporary and modern. Most of these are mentioned either in the text or the footnotes, but I desire to take this opportunity of acknowledging my great indebtedness to the admirable notes of the Marquis de Chanterac, who so ably edited the edition of the marshal's Memoires published by the Societe de lHistoire de France.

A SHORT BIOGRAPHY of FRAN�OIS DE BASSOMPIERREFran�ois de Bassompierre (12 April 1579 - 12 October 1646) was a French courtier. The son of Christophe de Bassompierre (1547-1596), he was born at the castle of Harou� in Lorraine. He was descended from an old family which had for generations served the dukes of Burgundy and Lorraine, and after being educated with his brothers in Bavaria and Italy, was introduced to the court of King Henry IV of France in 1598. He became a great favourite of the king and shared to the full in the dissipations of court life. In 1600, he took part in the brief campaign in Savoy, and in 1603 fought in Hungary against the Turks for emperor Rudolf II.- Wikipedia EXCERPT FROM A Gallant of Lorraine: Fran�ois, Seigneur de Bassompierre, Marquis D'harouel, Mar�chal de France (1579-1646) PREFATORY NOTE ALTHOUGH the M�moires of the Mar�chal de Bassompierre are acknowledged to be one of the chief authorities for the history of France during the early part of the seventeenth century, they have never been translated into English, nor, if we except the charming but all too brief sketch of the marshal by Comte Boudet de Puymaigre in his Po�tes et Romanciers de la Lorraine (Paris, 1848), has any biography of their author yet been attempted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Gallant of Lorraine, Vol. 2 of 2: Francois, Seigneur De Bassompierre, Marquis D'harouel, Marechal De France (1579-1646) Offer of Schomberg, Saint-Geran and Marillac to take Montauban within twelve days - Advice of Pere Arnoux - Diplomacy of Bassom-pierre - A humiliating fiasco - A second attempt meets with no better success - Bassompierre counsels the King to raise the siege, and it is decided to follow his advice - General exasperation against Luynes - Louis XIII begins to grow weary of his favourite - Conversation of the King with Bassompierre - The latter warns Luynes that he " does not sufficiently cultivate the good graces of the King " - Reply of the Constable - Louis XIII twits Luynes with the love of the Due de Chevreuse for his wife - Puisieux, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Pirc Arnoux, the King's Jesuit confessor, conspire against the Constable - Disgrace of the latter - Bassompierre, at the head of the bulk of the Royal forces, lays siege to Monheurt - A perilous situation - Bassompierre falls ill of fever - He leaves the army and sets out for La Reole - He is taken seriously ill at Marmande - His three doctors - Approach of the enemy - Refusal of the townsfolk to admit him and his suite into the town - A terrible night - He recovers and proceeds to Bordeaux - Death of the Constable before Monheurt. During the next few days some progress was made by the Guards at Ville-Nouvelle; but the other two divisions seemed able to do little or nothing; while the garrison, strengthened by the accession of several hundred first-class fighting men, harassed them incessantly. On October 4, Louis XIII summoned another council of war at Picqueos, to which Bassompierre went. On his arrival he was met by Pere Arnoux, the King's Jesuit confessor, who said to him: "Well, Monsieur, Montauban is going to be given, so they say, to him who offers the lowest price for it, as they give the public works in France. In how many days do you offer to take it?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
