Bonsi della Ruota

Antonio served as bishop of Terracina and negotiated the marriage of Catherine de' Medici to King Henry II.

His daughter Lucrezia married Giuliano de' Medici, while his son, Domenico [it], was ambassador to Pope Pius V and also spent time in France.

Thomas resigned the see in 1596 and King Henry IV appointed Jean de Bonsi, son of Domenico, to succeed him.

On the latter's death in 1659, the bishopric passed to Pierre, who acted as a royal ambassador on many occasions and was named grand almoner (1671).

[1] Pierre's father, Francesco Bonsi, had been the French resident at the Duchy of Mantua.
