Commentary
François de Bourbon-Vendôme, duc de Beaufort est le second fils de César de Vendôme et de Françoise de Lorraine. Né en 1616, il est militaire et participe à la campagne de Flandre entre 1635 et 1640. Infidèle, il est emprisonné à Vincennes dont il s’échappa en 1648 pour devenir le “Roi des Halles” et se battre au Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Après la Fronde, il devient surintendant général de la navigation et écrase les pirates algérois en Méditerranée en 1665. Il disparaît en portant secours à Candie assiégée par les Turcs.
