Charles de Valois, duc d'Angoulême (April 28, 1573 - September 24, 1650), the natural son of Charles IX of France and Marie Touchet, was born at the Château de Fayet in Dauphiné. His father, dying in the following year, commended him to the care and favour of his younger brother and successor, Henry III, who faithfully fulfilled the charge. His mother married François de Balzac, marquis d'Entragues, and one of her daughters, Henriette, Marquise de Verneuil, afterwards became the mistress of Henry IV. Charles of Valois was carefully educated, and was destined for the Knights of Malta. At the early age of sixteen he attained one of the highest dignities of the order, being made Grand Prior of France. Shortly after he came into possession of large estates left by his paternal grandmother Catherine de' Medici, from one of which he took his title of count of Auvergne. In 1591 he obtained a dispensation from the vows of the Order of Malta, and married Charlotte, daughter of Henry, Marshal d'Amville, afterwards Duke of Montmorency.
