Notes

  1. As French agent.
  2. As Ambassador Extraordinary.
  3. Due to the War of the Three Henrys and "the disputed succession after the assassination of King Henry III in 1589 it is difficult to follow exactly the French Resident Amabassadors in England from this date onwards."
  4. M. Colbert initially served only as a spy, since M. Rouvigny was not trusted by the French court; hence the overlap.
