Andre de LAVAL, sr de Lohéac, marechal de France. Wikipedia/
Andre de Laval-Montmorency. Seigneur de Lohéac ( ca 1408-1485 ) Was a Marchal de France. He was the son of Guy XIII de Laval and Anne de Laval. In 1423 he served in the French army against England, and in 1428 was taken prisoner by John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbrury, after the capitulation of Laval, which he was defending. After paying his ransom he was present with Joan of Arc at the siege of Orleans, at the Battle of Patay, and at the corontation of Charles VII. He was made admiral of France in 1437 and marchal in 1439.
He served Charles VII faithfully in all his wars, even against the Dauphin ( 1456) and when the latter became king as Louis XI, Laval was dismissed from the marshal's office. After the War of the Public Weal he was restored to favor, and recovered the marchal's baton, the king also granted him the offices of lieutenant-general to the government of Paris and governor of Picardy, and conferring upon him the collar of the Order of St Michael. In 1472 Laval was succesful in resisting the attacs of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, on Beauvais.
Zoon van Guy XIII ° de LAVAL (zie 24913) en Anne de LAVAL (zie 24900).
