About Louis Malet de Graville
Louis Malet de Graville was a French military officer, Admiral of France, politician and art patron. He came from an old family from Normandy; one of his ancestors was William Malet, a companion of William the Conqueror who took part in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Louis Malet de Graville's father was a counsellor and chamberlain to King Charles VII and Louis XI. In 1463, Louis's father was taken prisoner by English troops. Louis therefore took over some of his father's appointments and began a successful career at the centre of French politics. He would eventually serve four French kings: Louis XI, Charles VIII, Louis XII and Francis I.
