Francois de Villemontee born in Paris, November 8, 1598 died in Paris in October 1670 knight, lord of Montaiguillon and Villenaux bishop of Saint-Malo Civilian career Eldest son of François, lord of Villemontée (in Poitou) and Montaiguillon (in Brie), King's prosecutor at Châtelet, and Jeanne de Verdun, he became adviser to the Parliament of Paris on April 6, 1620 then Master of Requests on November 17 of the same year. On September 12, 1624, he married Philippine de la Barre, from an old house in Flanders, with whom he had several children. Louis XIII appointed him State Councilor on August 9, 1626 and in 1633 he was promoted to Intendant of justice, police, finance and navy in Poitou, Aunis, Saintonge and Angoumois, then relay of the policy of Cardinal Richelieu.As a reward for his good and loyal service, in July 1649, his land of Montaiguillon was erected as a marquisate. Ruined, he separated from his wife, entered the ecclesiastical state and became a priest. He then retired to various convents in Paris or Saint-Malo. Le Tellier's influence earned him the appointment of Bishop of Saint-Malo by Louis XIV on May 27, 1658. Episcopate and death The bull of nomination was not fulminated by Pope Alexander VII until November 10, 1659. François de Villemontée took possession of his episcopal seat in January 1660 by procurator and was consecrated the following June 29 in the professed church of the Jesuits in Paris by Monseigneur Bouthilier de Chavigny, archbishop of Tours, Monseigneur de La Barde and Mgr Henri-Marie de Laval de Bois-Dauphin, bishops of Saint-Brieuc and Léon. Monseigneur de Villemontée distinguished himself particularly in the fight against Jansenism, designated as he was by Alexander VII as one of the nine commissioners in charge of settling the affair of the four bishops (Alet, Angers, Beauvais and Pamiers) who refused to sign the form. He brought to Saint-Malo the Benedictines of Saint-Maur to replace the English Benedictines and proceeded to the blessing of the new church of La Gouesnière where he is represented on the painting of the high altar. Called to the capital for the affairs of his bishopric, he died there on October 16 or 18, 1670.
