  • Henri (II) de Rohan, Duke of Rohan (21 August 1579 – 13 April 1638), was a French soldier, writer and leader of the Huguenots. He was born at the Château de Blain (now a part of Blain, Loire-Atlantique), in Brittany. Having served in the French military until, the Peace of Vervins, Henri travelled in Europe for a time, including visits to England and Scotland. While in Scotland, he became Charles I's godfather. Upon his return to France, religious disputes led to Henri becoming the leader of a Huguenot revolt. Henri led three wars, each of which was halted by a fragile peace. After the third war, Henri fled to Venice. He was recalled to war when France more directly entered the Thirty Years' War, but after another successful run as a commander, was forced into retirement. He joined the forces of Bernard of Saxe-Weimar, and was mortally wounded in battle in 1638.
