Jean de Monluc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean de Monluc (?-1579), brother of Blaise de Lasseran-Massencôme, seigneur de Montluc, was a member of the Monluc family. He was bishop of Condom (1570-1581), then of Valence, and then of Dié, and distinguished himself in several embassies, before converting to Calvinism (as, at about the same time, did the bishop Odet de Coligny).
Jean died in 1579, leaving a natural son, Jean de Monluc (d. 1603), seigneur de Balagny, who was at first a zealous member of the League, but made his submission to Henry IV, and received from him the principality of Cambrai and the baton of a marshal of France.
