Saint André and the prince were raised together under the governorship of his father at court. In 1547, at the advent of Henry's reign, he was appointed as his father's deputy, serving as lieutenant general for the Lyonnais. Concurrently he entered the king's conseil privé and was made a Marshal and Grand Chamberlain.
