You are bidding on a rare antique hardcover book titled Vie De Gaspard De Coligny - Admiral De France. By A Meylan. Published in Paris by Librairie De Ch. Meyrueis Et C., 1862. This rare book is in French. Gaspard de Coligny, Seigneur de Châtillon (16 February 1519 – 24 August 1572) was a French nobleman and admiral, best remembered as a disciplined Huguenot leader in the French Wars of Religion. Coligny came of a noble family of Burgundy. His family traced their descent from the 11th century, and in the reign of Louis XI, were in the service of the King of France. His father, Gaspard I de Coligny, known as the 'Marshal of Châtillon', served in the Italian Wars from 1494 to 1516, married in 1514, and was created Marshal of France in 1516. By his wife, Louise de Montmorency, sister of the future constable, he had three sons, all of whom played an important part in the first period of the Wars of Religion: Odet, Gaspard and François. Coligny is directly descended from notable individuals such as Alfred the Great, Rollo the Viking, William the Conqueror, Hugh Capet and various Kings of England, Kings of France, Counts of Savoy and crusaders. Book is quarter-bound in red leather with leather tips. Spine has gold lettering and attractive gilt design. Covers are securely attached with no cracking or splitting of hinges.
