Charles de Schomberg

Charles de Schomberg (16 February 1601 – 6 June 1656), Duke d'Halluin, was a French soldier from the 17th century and Marshal of France.

Charles de Schomberg was the son of Henri de Schomberg, also a Marshal of France, and his first wife Françoise d'Espinay.

Charles de Schomberg is best known for his victory against the Spanish at the Siege of Leucate on 28 September 1637.

Charles de Schomberg remarried on 24 September 1646 with Marie de Hautefort (1616–1691), Lady-in-waiting of Queen Anne of Austria and former confidante of King Louis XIII of France.
