Louis Regnier, Sieur de la Planche, c. 1530-c. 1580, French historian and politician. This work is attributed to him by Barbier, and is included in the lists
of his works in various biographies of him. Brunet puts the book under Lisle, but explains that it is
attribué à L. Regnier de la Planche. At the end of the book is
Fin du premier liure but the rest of the work remained in manuscript and was not published. This appears to be the first edition, and Barbier
to be in error in listing an edition of 1574,
Reims, Martin (
ou Geneve). The book is omitted from the 1872 edition of Barbier.
Charles de Lorraine, 1525-1574, archbishop of Reims and Cardinal.
