Claude, Duke of Chevreuse

The visit is said to have been prompted by his affair with Jacqueline de Bueil, a mistress of Henry IV of France.

[6] After his return to France, Claude sent Prince Henry a suit of armour, which survives in the Royal Collection.

'[11] He hosted the Duke of Buckingham, who came to escort Henrietta Maria to England, at the Hôtel de Chevreuse.

He commissioned the royal architect, Clément Métezeau, to design a Parisian townhouse, the Hôtel de Chevreuse, constructed 1622–1623 on the Rue Saint-Thomas-du-Louvre on a site now part of the Cour Napoléon of the Louvre.

[14] Living an inconspicuous life, Claude succeeded in distancing himself from his wife's plotting (as a favorite of Queen Anne of Austria she was involved in many political intrigues at the court of King Louis XIII of France).
