  Anne de Montmorency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montmorency was born at Chantilly, and was brought up with the future King Francis I, whom he followed into Italy in 1515, distinguishing himself especially at Marignano.
On the renewal of the war by Charles V's invasion of France in 1536, Montmorency compelled the emperor to raise the siege of Marseille; he afterwards accompanied the king of France into Picardy, and on the termination of the Netherlands campaign marched to the relief of Turin.
In 1538, on the ratification of the ten years' truce, he was rewarded with the office of Constable of France, but in 1541 he fell into disgrace, and did not return to public life until the accession of Henry II in 1547.
