	Admiral of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title Admiral of France is one of the Great Officers of the Crown of France, the naval equivalent of Marshal of France.
		The Admiral was responsible for defending the coasts of Picardy, Normandy, Aunis, and Saintonge.
		It was also a lucrative position: the admiral was allocated a part of the fines and confiscations imposed by the admiralty, and he had a right to unclaimed ships and shipwrecks as well as a tenth of the spoils taken in battle.

	FRANCE 1494-1559
		France had been blessed with many strong kings; and, for the most part, they had lived long enough to be succeeded on the throne by sons who were already mature men and thus able to carry on their fathers' policies without interruptions.
		Flanders remained a battleground, where the rival ambitions of France and Spain constituted a standing threat to the tranquillity of the native population and a constant source of concern to the English.
		The unexpected death of the king left France in the hands of a number of parties and factions whose relationships largely determined the course of French history for the remainder of the sixteenth century.

		Admiral, the prosecution believes that Raeder was opposed only to the date set for the war against Russia and concludes this from the War Diary in which actually the entries refer to the date.
		He suggested, as has been mentioned before, that the policy of peace with Norway should be pursued, peace with France, and closer co-operation with the Russian Navy, such as was provided for in the economic treaty, and the repurchase of submarine equipment or submarines.
		Admiral, you said at first, that Raeder had protested, in principle, as you have expressed it, for moral reasons, that is, for reasons of International Law.

	Gaspard de Coligny Summary
		The French admiral and statesman Gaspard de Coligny (1519-1572) was the most prominent leader of the French Protestants, or Huguenots, during the first decade of the religious wars in France.
		Believing that a war with Spain would be disastrous, Catherine de Médicis fought desperately during the summer of 1572 to convince the royal council and her son Charles IX to reject the proposal of war, but Coligny persisted in discussing it with the young king.
		The king's regard for the admiral, and the bold front of the Huguenots, alarmed the queen-mother; and the massacre of St Bartholomew was the consequence.

		He is a great eater and drinker, and on the night France collapsed he luxuriated so heartily and publicly at Bordeaux's Chapon Fin that the next day a number of his brother officers, with an ethical fastidiousness almost Japanese, resigned their commissions out of shame.

		Admiral Jean Francois Darlan's Western legacy is that of an opportunist, a fascist collaborator, or, at worst, a traitor during France's struggle for survival in the early years of World War II.
		With a career beginning during the height of France's imperial power and lasting until the nation's rapid wartime decline, Darlan was a pragmatic statesman, a guardian of naval preparedness, a stout opponent of fascism, an earnest patron of the Anglo-French Alliance, and an advocate of combined naval power in the Mediterranean.
		His career is well described, specially when trying to pact a joint effort with the British to control the Mediterranean and prevent Mussolini's Italy of becoming a menace, as well as matching Hitler naval rearmament.
