Sample Book Insights:

#1 The search for Chapuys the man begins in the charming old city of Annecy in south-eastern France, near the border with Switzerland. He was born in 1499. The exact year of his birth is uncertain, as we lack a birth certificate.

#2 Annecy is a popular winter gateway to the ski resorts of the French Alps. It is a picture-postcard medieval center, with the town’s main museum, La Musée-château d’Annecy, housing the only known portraits of Eustace Chapuys.

#3 There are four portraits of Eustache Chapuys: one in the Annecy museum, one in the Lycée Berthollet, and two others that are stored in the Académie Florimontane in Annecy. They all show a different-looking Chapuys, with different facial features and different robes.

#4 Eustace Chapuys was the son of Louis and Guigone Chapuys. He was a notary and a municipal official, and he had a law degree. He was also ambitious and career-minded, and he became a diplomat.
