Léon Bouthillier, comte de Chavigny

Léon Bouthillier, comte de Chavigny (March 28, 1608 – October 11, 1652) was a Foreign Minister of France to Louis XIII.

After the death of Louis XIII, he relinquished his office June 23, 1643 but he was sent as plenipotentiary in the negotiations of Munster.

In October 1652, just before his death he made a large donation to Anthony Singlin, Jansen, Director of Port Royal, who is even suspected of extortion on this occasion.

His son, Armand Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé, was the founder of the Trappist order.

Another son, François-Denis, was bishop of Troyes and Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sens.
