Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRIQUEMAULT (or BRIQUEMAUT), FRANOIS DE BEAUVAIS, SEIGNEUR DE (c. 1502-1572) , leader of the Huguenots during the first religious wars, was the son of Adrien de Briquemault and Alexane de Sainte Ville, and was born about 1502. His first campaign was under the
count
  of Brissac in the Piedmontese wars. On his return to France in 1554 he joined
Admiral
  Coligny. Charged with the defence of Rouen, in 1562, he resigned in favour of Montgomery, to whom the prince of
Conde
  had entrusted the task, and went over to England, where he concluded the treaty of Hampton Court on the loth of September. He then returned to France, and took Dieppe from the Catholics before the conclusion of peace. If his share in the second religious war was less important, he played a very active part in the third. He fought at Jarnac, Roche-Abeille and Montcontour, assisted in the siege of Poitiers, was nearly captured by the Catholics at Bourg-Dieu, re-victualled Vezelay, and almost surprised Bourges. In 1570, being charged by Coligny to stop the army of the princes in its ascent of the Rhone valley, he crossed
Burgundy
  and effected his junctionwith the
admiral
  at St `
Etienne
  in May. On the 21st of the following June he assisted in achieving the victory of Arnayle-Due, and was then employed to negotiate a
marriage
  between the prince of Navarre and Elizabeth of England. Being in Paris on the night. of St Bartholomew he took
refuge
  in the
house
  of the English
ambassador
 , but was arrested there. With his friend Arnaud de Cavagnes he was delivered over to the parlement, and failed in courage when confronted with his judges, seeking, to escape death by unworthy means. He was condemned, nevertheless, on the 27th of October 1572, to the last penalty and to the confiscation of his property, and on the 20th of October he and Cavagnes were executed.
