Compare Francois d'Hozier de Massue (Massue, ?)
In 1642 he joined in the conspiracy of Cinq Mars against Richelieu, and upon its failure was obliged to live in exile until Richelieu's death.
Returning to France, he became the centre of an elite group, dominated by the Queen Anne, and the duchesses of Chevreuse and Montbazon. For an instant after the king's death, this group seemed likely to prevail, and Beaufort to be proclaimed the head of the new government.
But Mazarin gained the office, and Beaufort, accused of a plot to murder Mazarin, was imprisoned in Vincennes, in September 1643. He escaped on the 31st of May 1648, just in time to join the Fronde, which began in August 1648 where he allied with the parlement and princes, against Mazarin. He became known as "Roi des Halles" (The Public King).
Mazarin, on his return to Paris, exiled him again briefly in October 1652. In 1654, Mazarin recalled Beaufort adequately hobbled (politically speaking) and in 1658 he confired on him the office of his father Cesar, General Superintendent of Navigation. All indications were that Beaufort, and faithfully served the king (by then, Louis XIV). In 1664 he directed the expedition against the pirates of Algiers, and in 1669 he led the French troops defending Candia against the Turks on 15th of June 1669. It was during this battle that Francois was listed as Missing in Action, and his body was never recovered.
See the memoirs of the time, notably those of La Rochefoucauld, the Cardinal de Retz, and Madame de Motteville. Also D'Avenel, Richelieu et la monarchic absolue (1884); Cheruel, La France sous le ministere de Mazarin (1879); and La France sous la minorite de Louis XIV (1882).
It has been suggested that that Francois was the man in the Iron mask since his dissapearance corresponds to the appearance of that famous prisoner. However, there are field journals by members of his troup that suggest while Francois was indeed imprisoned his death was sudden and his burial commended to be carried out at night in secrecy, and that the man in the iron mask was Francois' son Philippe (half brother of Louis XIV) who was imprisoned in Pignerolle under the personal care of his kinsman ("uncle") Bénigne d'Auvergne (de Saint-Mars) (Dauvergne, b. before 1626 d. 18 September 1708) Benigne Davergne Saint-Mars (one of the King's Musqueteers).
Although no record of his marriage exists, like most princes of the time, Francois was hardly a monk and several relationships are mentioned including Anne-Geneviève de Bourbon, the daughter of his cousin who later married Francois d'Rochefoucald, and Marie the daughter of Henri Coiffier Coiffier de Ruzé (De Cinq-Mars) (Coiffier, b. 1620 d. 12 September 1642) (Henri d'Rossy), journals kept by Antoine Nompar de Caumont (a fellow inmate of Pignerolle) the prisoner known as the man in the iron mask engaged in liasion with a daughter of Nicholas Fouquet (Fouquet, b. 27 January 1615 d. 23 March 1680) (also a fellow prisoner). Lauzun himself courted the young woman during his tenure at Pignerol. His hope to be restored to his place at court and marry Mlle Fouquet, were foiled when Mlle Fouquet became Mme d'Uzès in 1683..
Several illegitimate children of Francois are tentatively identifiedRef needed !: Francois Monceaux Fourcy b. 1632 d. 1680 and Phillip Eustace Monceaux b. 1635 d. 1703. The death of the latter corresponds to the death of the Man in the Iron Mask.
