Jacques de Clermont-d'Amboise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques de Clermont d'Amboise (c.1525 – 1587) was the third son of Louis de Clermont, Lord of Gallerande, butler of the king, and Renée d'Amboise.
Georges d'Amboise, Cardinal of Rouen, protector of Jean d'Amboise gave him the lands of Bussy and Saxe-Fontaine on condition that the family use the name and arms of the house of Amboise; thus, the name Clermont-Amboise was adopted.
Jacques held numerous titles including Baron de Bussy, Bussy le Chateau, Cuperly, Ban de Bussy, Courtisols, Vanault le Chatel, Vavray the Great, the Little Vavray, Maurupt, Pargny, Cheppes, Cernon, Vernancourt, Vésigneul sur Coole, and Fontaine sur Coole.
Military career
Jacques was captain of a company of lances for Francis I of France and was made a Knight of the Order of St Michael.
