The house of Montmorency was one of the most prestigious families of the French nobility and gave France several constables whose most illustrious Prince of the Renaissance: Anne de Montmorency. The five volumes are as follows: The first volume is dedicated to the genealogy and chronology of Montmorency from 960 until 1531, shortly before Anne became Constable, that is to say, the more fault function after King . The second volume contains the life and the Anne Francis, Marshal of France from 1494 until 1579 third volume is occupied by several biographies, Henry Constable of France.; Charles Duke of Amville, grand admiral of France; & That of Henry II, Duke of Montmorency, from 1547 until 1632. Fourth and fifth volume contains the life of François-Henri de Montmorency, Marshal Duke of Luxembourg from 1628 until 1695. This is the first volume we find the general history of Montmorency, including the Middle Ages where Montmorency toiled with brilliance, but Desormeaux's work does not purport to be exhaustive, it has made choices, including biographical; However, the work of a high quality is undoubtedly the best that has been devoted to this illustrious family that blends so well with that of France; thus tells this anecdote that when in 1764 the Duchess of Montmorency presented the work of Louis XV Desormeaux, asking: "Her Majesty she knows the history of the house of Montmorency? "The King replied:" Madam, I know the history of France. " --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
