Notes:

From French-language Wikipedia, auto-translated 7 Jan 2022:

Doctor of canon law and civil law, graduated in theology, he successively became lieutenant general of the bailiff of Bourge, member of the Grand Council, master of petitions, then ambassador to Venice.

In his Histoire de Blois, Bernier writes: "He behaved in all these jobs with so much modesty, probity and ability, that the King [Henri II] seeing that he had combined the study of theology and canon law with that of civil law, appointed him to the bishopric of Orleans".

Designated by King Henry II as Bishop of Orleans from 1552 to 1564, he appointed vicar general his nephew Mathurin de La Saussaye, for whose benefit he resigned his episcopal see.

He is one of Catherine de Medici's advisers, known as moderates, in favor of a policy of conciliation with Protestants. He was guard of the Seals from October 7, 1568 to April 1571, a position he terminated in favor of President René de Birague, to become dean of the Council of State.

King Henry III commissioned him to compose the opening speech of the Estates General of Blois, from 1576. He is buried in the church of the Cordeliers convent in Blois. His tomb was destroyed but the bronze bust, one of the most important of the surviving French Renaissance today and created by Germain Pilon for the tomb, is kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans.

Notes:

From French-language Wikipedia, auto-translated 7 Jan 2022:

Mathurin de la Saussaye [...] is the son of Jean de la Saussaye, lord of Brézolles, and Jeanne de Morvillier, sister of Bishop Jean de Morvilliers. Intended for the Church, he studied theology and became a recognized preacher. His uncle destined him for his succession and he became canon of Orleans Cathedral and archdeacon of Sully-sur-Loire, then dean of the canon chapter and finally vicar general. His uncle monopolized by his political duties, resigned his episcopal see in his favor with the agreement of King Charles IX and he became bishop of Orleans. Consecrated in Paris by the Bishop of Saint-Malo in March 1565, he did not take possession of his diocese until two months later, the following May 17.

Also president of the Chamber of Accounts, he led his diocese with zeal and vigilance and, after the capture of Orleans by the Calvinists on September 26, 1567, he had to go into exile in Tours with his chapter. He did not return to his city until March 22, 1568. He must restore the cathedral choir that had been damaged by the Reformed during the disturbances of 1562. He attended the Estates General of Blois in 1576 and died on February 9, 1584.

Notes:

Also called Marie Catherine Baillon, de Baillon.

She was a fille du roi, a "daughter of the king." By 1660 or so it had become apparent that the fledgling North American colony of New France was badly short of marriageable women. To ameliorate this, between 1663 and 1673 the French government recruited respectable young women of limited prospects and, after vetting them for suitability, provided each of them with a small dowry, a chest of clothes, and one-way passage to Quebec. The approximately 800 women who made this journey became known as the "filles du roi", the "daughters of the King." Millions of modern French-Canadians can trace their descent from them, quite often from several.

Catherine Baillon is also a proven "gateway ancestor"; born to a minor gentry family, she was a descendant of over 1500 documented medieval individuals. Her modern descendants include (but are far from limited to) Jack Kerouac, Nathan Fillion, and Canadian prime minister Jean Chretien. She was a descendant of King Philippe II of France (1165-1223), but oddly, her most recent royal descent was from King András II of Hungary (1176-1235). She was a descendant both of Harold Godwinson, last of the Anglo-Saxon kings, and of William I, the Norman invader who overthrew him at Hastings in 1066. Her most recent ancestor among English kings is Henry I (1068-1135).
