Son of the Grand Master of Artillery of France and Catherine de Bourbon, Antoine d'Estrées (before 1529-1609) was a gentleman of the Duke of Alençon, when Henri III appointed him governor of Pierrefond (1575), seneschal and then governor of Boulonnais (1575-78). Chevalier de St-Michel, he was created Chevalier du St-Esprit in the 1st promotion at the Order's creation in 1578, and obtained from the King the erection of his seigneury of Cœuvres into a marquisate (1585), as well as the lieutenancy general in Picardy in March 1586. When Henri III was assassinated, he immediately offered his services to the King of Navarre, and settled in his government at La Fère. His defense of Noyon against Mayenne in 1593 led to his appointment as Lieutenant General of Paris and the Ile de France. One of his daughters, Gabrielle, was Henri IV's famous mistress.
