Excerpt from Civil Wars and Monarchy in France, in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Vol. 2: A History of France Principally During That Period

Gaspard de Coligny, the leader under whose conduct these great successes were obtained, was at that time perhaps the most renowned man living.

He belonged to an ancient race of the high Burgundian nobility. His father had, by the side of the King, acquired reputation in war and authority in the State. After his death, which occurred early, his widow, a sister of the Constable, who, as far as can be ascertained, inclined to the ecclesiastical reformation in its most general form, made the education of her three sons the object of her life.
