COLIGNY, Gaspard de (1519-72). In the midst of the political intrigue that marked the religious wars in France during the last half of the 16th century, the figure of Gaspard de Coligny, admiral of France, stands out. While so many of the leaders of both warring parties--Catholics and Huguenots alike--were using the bitter spirit of religious controversy for their personal advantage, Admiral Coligny, the head of the Protestant cause in France, won the respect of both sides by his unselfish devotion to what he believed were the true interests of his native land.
Gaspard de Coligny was born of a noble family in Châtillon-sur-Loing, France, on Feb. 16, 1519, two years after Martin Luther began the Reformation in Germany. Coligny had a brilliant military career. He won the title of admiral in 1552. Through the influence of his brother, Francis d'Andelot, he became a Huguenot (French Protestant).
Gaspard married Jacquiline DE MONTBEL D' Entremont, daughter of Sebastien DE MONTBEL and Beatrice DE ESCALONA, in 1571. Jacquiline was born in 1541 in Isere, Savoy, France and died in 1600 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Their children were:
i. Comtress, Beatrice DE COLIGNY D'entremont (born on 21 Dec 1572 in Savoy, France - died in 1671 in Savoy, France)
