About Jean de Monchy, Seigneur de Senarpont

Jean de Monchy, seigneur de Sénarpont (1500–1563) was a French noble, governor and military commander during the Italian Wars and the early French Wars of Religion. Beginning his career under François I he served as the governor of Corbie from 1541 to 1550. At this time the kingdom regained control of Boulogne and the new king Henri II appointed him governor of the important port city. He was briefly the bailli (bailiff) of Amiens simultaneously. In 1557 the French were faced with disaster at the Saint-Quentin and in the aftermath Sénarpont enjoyed command as temporary lieutenant-general of maritime Picardie. Keen to avenge the defeat, Henri decided upon an attack against Calais, Sénarpont would be dispatched on several reconnaissance missions to assess the viability of this proposal, and it was determined to go ahead with the attack. Sénarpont participated in both the naval preparations and the land attack on Calais that saw it returned to France in January 1558.
