Henri II

Henri II (1595-1632), Duc de Montmorency, was a French nobleman and statesman, born at Chantilly. He distinguished himself in arms under Louis XIII, but provoked along with Gaston, Duke of Orleans, into rebellion, he was taken prisoner and beheaded, notwithstanding intercessions from high quarters on his behalf for the zeal he had shown in defence of the Catholic faith.
