Saint-Edmé, vol. ii. pp. 241, 242. Charlotte, daughter of François des Essarts, Seigneur de Sautour, Equerry of the King's Stable, and of his second wife, Charlotte de Harlay de Chanvallon. The Comte Christophe de Beaumont-Harlay, Governor of Orleans. He died in 1615. Louis de Lorraine, Cardinal de Guise, son of Henri, Due de Guise, who was killed at the States of Blois.
This child, called by Bassompierre le Père Archange, and by Dupleix le Père Ange, was the son of Jacques de Harlay de Chanvallon, known at Court as "the handsome Chanvallon," and was the individual who, as the confessor of the Marquise de Verneuil, became one of the most active agents in the conspiracy which was formed against Henri IV and the French Princes. Dreux du Radier, vol. v. p. 176.
I purpose to bring, parodying a passage of the good Sieur Chanvallon, not freestone and marble for their restoration, but a critical hammer to knock down the loose bricks that, for more than four centuries, have shown large holes in several places. Tacitus is raised by his genius to a height, which lifts him above the reach of the critic.
