Executive summary: Duc de Sully, confidant of Henri IV French statesman, bora at the château of Rosny near Mantes, on the 13th of December 1560, of a noble family of Flemish descent.
His father, François de Béthune, baron de Rosny, was the son of Jean de Béthune, to whom in 1529 his wife Anne de Melun brought as part of her dowry a seigneurie at Rosny-sur-Seine, which later (1601) was made a marquisate.
The young baron de Rosny was taken to Paris by his patron and was studying at the college of Bourgogne at the time of the massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day, from which he escaped by discreetly carrying a book of hours under his arm.
