. Devonshire characters and strange events. phew ofPeter II, Baron dOroze, fought along with Bayard in acombat of thirteen Frenchmen against thirteen Span-iards. The son of Peter II, Claude, was ambassadorof France at the Council of Trent, and governor of theroyal children. He loved letters, had a fine library athis Chateau de la Batie, near Montbrison. Jacques, his son, was chamberlain to Henry II ; he died in 1574, leaving several sons, of whom two were Anne andHonore, both staunch Leaguers, and in their day con-sidered to be poets.

Charles Emmanuel called himself De Lascaris, andwas created Marquis DUrfe and De Bauge, Count ofSommerive and St. Just, Marshal, and died in 1685 atthe age of eighty-one. His son Louis became Bishop ofLimoges; another, Francis, became Abbe of St. Just, and devoted himself to missionary work in Canada ; hedied in 1701.
