About Henri de Silly

Henri de Silly, seigneur de La Roche-Guyon, damoiseau de Commercy, baron d'Aquigny was a French noble, military commander, and courtier during the French Wars of Religion. The eldest son of Louis de Silly, seigneur de La Roche-Guyon and Anne de Laval, he initially entered the service of the duc d'Anjou brother to the king. After the death of king Charles IX, Anjou returned to France as Henri III. La Roche-Guyon served in the new king's household as either an écuyer or échanson before becoming a gentilhomme de la chambre. La Roche-Guyon was infuriated when Jeanne de Cossé, who had been due to marry him, was instead married to the king's favourite Saint-Luc and departed court. Affiliating himself with the king's brother the duc d'Alençon he raised troops in Normandie for indeterminate purpose. He further involved himself in plots to both kidnap and poison Henri III.
