ROHAN, ro"6n', HENRI, DUC DE: Huguenot leader; b. at the chhteau of Blain (23 m. n.w. of Nantes) Aug. 21, 1579; d. on the battlefield of Rheinfelden (10 m. e. of Basel) Feb. 28, 1638. He belonged to a famous Breton family which espoused Protestantism in the sixteenth century, of which he and his brother Benjamin, prince of Soubise, were the most celebrated members. Each owed his abilities to his mother, Catherine de Parthenay, who educated them. At the age of sixteen under Henry IV. Henri fought against the Spaniards and was present at the siege of Amiew (1597). In the years following he traveled through Italy, Germany, Holland, England, and Scotland. He married a daughter of Sully, the great minister of Henry IV. When the troubles of the Huguenots (q.v.) broke out early in the reign of Louis XIII., Rohan became their leader. He commanded their forces in Upper Languedoc and Upper Guienne, and checkmated Marshal Luynes at Montauban. As a result of the peace of Oct. 9, 1623, in which the Edict of Nantes (q.v.) was confirmed, Rohan was made a marshal of France and invested with the governments of Nimes and Uzbs, with a compensation of 800,000 livres for the loss of the government of Poitou and St. Jean d'Angbly. This peace was merely a truce, and in 1627 the Huguenots, rebelling anew, made their last stand at La Rochelle, in the defense of which Rohan and his brother took part (see ROCHELLE). With the fall of the Huguenot power in France Henri retired to Italy, where he wrote his celebrated Le parfaicx Capitaine (1636; Eng. trawl., The Complete Captain, London, 1640). But Richelieu was loath to lose his
