Duke of Guise François (Portrait by François Clouet)

Biography

French general and politician, a prominent leader during the Italian War of 1551–1559 and French Wars of Religion, he was assassinated during the siege of Orleans in 1563. A facial scar sustained in battle earned him the nickname "Le Balafre."

He was the son of Claude, Duke of Guise (created Duke of Guise in 1527), and his wife Antoinette de Bourbon. His sister, Mary of Guise, was the wife of James V of Scotland and mother of Mary, Queen of Scots. His younger brother was Charles, Cardinal of Lorraine. He was the youthful cousin of Henri II of France, with whom he was raised.

In 1548 he was magnificently wedded to Anna d'Este, daughter of the Duke of Ferrara, Ercole II d'Este, and French princess, Renée, the daughter of Louis XII. They had seven children.

Guise was about to take Orléans from the Huguenot supporters of Condé when he was wounded on 18 February 1563 by the Huguenot assassin, Jean de Poltrot de Méré, and died six days later, bled to death by his surgeons, at Château Corney. He was 44.

(Translation: In the year one thousand five hundred and nineteen, at the time of Pasques, a Thursday, at six o'clock in the morning, XVI° of February, Madame de Guise gave birth to a son, her first, at the castle of Bar-le-Duc).
