Son of Gaspard I de Coligny and Louise de Montmorency; the older brother of Gaspard, Admiral Coligny and Francois, Senor d'Andelot .
Ode was appointed cardinal at sixteen by the efforts of his uncle, the Duke of Montmorency , in 1561 solemnly converted to Protestantism . Soon he married Isabella Gottwil, the court lady of the Duchess of Savoy . The wedding was held according to the Calvinist rite. In 1563, Pope Pius IV issued a bull about his excommunication. From then on, Coligny was called Count Beauvais, although he continued to sign: "Cardinal of Chatillon." During the second religious war ( 1567 - 1568 ) Coligny was the commissioner of the Huguenots . In 1568, he participated in the battle of Saint-Denis, after which he fled to London . Elizabeth Tudor favored him.
After the Saint-Germain peace, Ode was going to sail to La Rochelle , but died in Canterbury , poisoned by his servant - as they say, by order of Catherine de Medici .
