Everything about Henri Ii De Montmorency totally explained
Henri II de Montmorency (1595 -
October 30 1632), son of
duke Henry I, succeeded to the title in 1614, having previously been made
grand admiral. He also was governor of
Languedoc.
In 1625 he defeated the French
Protestant fleet under
Soubise, and seized the islands of
Ré and
Oleron, but the jealousy of
Richelieu deprived him of the means of following up these advantages. In 1628-1629 he was allowed to command against the
duke of Rohan in
Languedoc; in 1630 he defeated the
Piedmontese, and captured
Prince Doria, at
Avigliana, and took
Saluzzo. In the same year he was created
marshal.
In 1632 he joined the party of
Gaston, duke of Orleans, and placed himself at the head of the rebel army, which was defeated by
Marshal Schomberg at
Castelnaudary (
September 1 1632); severely wounded, he fell into the enemy's hands, and, abandoned by Gaston, was executed as a traitor at
Toulouse on
October 30. The title passed to his sister
Charlotte-Marguerite, princess of Condé.
