Notes for *BERNARD DE LA VALLETTE DEFOIX NOGARET:

Bernard de Nogaret de La Valette (1592-1661), duke of Épernon and a French general, was the son of Jean Louis de Nogaret de La Valette and Marguerite de Foix-Candale, grand-daughter of the constable of Montmorency. Through his mother's line, Bernard could also claim the English title of Duke of Kendal, originally granted to his ancestor John de Foix in 1446.

In 1622, Bernard married Gabrielle-Angélique de Verneuil, legitimised daughter of Henri IV and the Marquise de Verneuil, with whom he had a son, Louis-Charles-Gaston de Candale, and a daughter, Anne-Louise-Christine de Foix de La Valette d'Épernon. Gabrielle-Angélique died in 1627 (some say Bernard poisoned her) and in 1634 he married Marie Ducambaut, a niece of Cardinal Richelieu. It was not a happy marriage, as Bernard later conceived a life-long passion for a middle-class woman named Ninon de Lartigue, who exerted absolute power over him and to whom he gave enormous sums of money.

Like his father, Bernard made a career of the military. He was named Colonel-General of infantry and fought at the sieges of Saint-Jean-d'Angély and of Royan (1621) and at the attack of the pas de Suse (1629). On 15 May 1633, Bernard became a Chevalier du Saint-Esprit and in 1635 he was charged by Louis XIII with restoring the order which had been disturbed by lifting of taxes and religious passions. He fought in Picardy (1636), in Guyenne, and finally against the Spaniards, and repressed the Peasants' Revolt (Révolte des Croquants) in 1637.


Fled France when Cardinal Richelieu accused him of complicity with the enemy (Huguenots) at the battle of Fontarable (1636) ; first fled to the Netherlands then to Glamorganshire, Wales. Executed in effigy on 6/6/1639. Returned to France in 1643 and was rehabilitated, and lived in his estate Louches where he died

Entry on Wikipedia

CURATOR NOTE: One reason is that their marriage was given at the same date as Nogaret's wedding date with Marie du Cambout (and he couldn't have married twice on the same day. Secondly, there is not indication of any third marriage of Nogaret. Nogaret fled to England in 1638 (to escape unwarranted persecution for war acts), and came back to France in 1643 (and justice was done to him by the courts). In between those years, he became a colonel of the so-called "Bandes françaises" in 1641. He later inherited the dukedom. Besides his two known marriages, he had a life-long relationshop with Ninon de Lartigue, with whom he may have fathered children. However, there is no trace of any relationship of Bernard de Nogaret de La Valette, d'Epernon to an Antoinete de Faudoas, nor of any offspring that emigrated to America.
