Roger Colbert: Difference between revisions

}}'''Roger Colbert''' was temporal secretary to the [[Abbot of Amboise]]. He was part of the conspiracy to assassinate Admiral [[Gaspard de Coligny]] in [[August]] [[1572]]. [[Anne Chaplet]] heard Colbert and the [[Captain of the guard]] talking of a conspiracy against the [[Huguenot|Huguenots]]. He later told the Abbot and Marshal [[Gaspard de Saux-Tavannes|Tavannes]] that the assassination attempt on de Coligny had failed and de Coligny was only wounded. When Tavannes had the Abbot killed for his failure, and the Huguenots blamed, Colbert pointed out [[Steven Taylor]] to a crowd of angry [[Catholic|Catholics]], who then chased Steven, thinking he killed the Abbot.
