Roger de Saint-Lary de Termes (December 10, 1562 – July 13, 1646, Paris), nephew of Roger de Saint-Lary de Bellegarde, was a French duke.
Life
He was a favourite of Henry III, Henry IV, and Louis XIII, and was royal master of the horse and governor of Burgundy.[1]
His estate of Seurre in Burgundy was created a duchy in the peerage of France (duché-pairie) in his favour under the name of Bellegarde, in 1619. In 1645 the title of this duchy was transferred to the estate of Choisy-aux-Loges in Gâtinais.[1]
