house of Chabot

The House of Chabot was a French noble family that rose to prominence through Philippe de Chabot, seigneur de Brion, who served as the grand admiral of France under Francis I. Despite his noble lineage from Poitou, Chabot's influence at court and in military commands led to rivalries, notably with Anne, duc de Montmorency. He was accused of peculation and sentenced to banishment, but was later pardoned by the king. The French title of duc de Rohan was transferred to the house of Chabot in 1648, after which they were known as Rohan-Chabot. The family's history is intertwined with that of other prominent French noble houses, contributing to military and political events throughout French history.123
