Life edit

The eldest son of Guillaume Gouffier de Boisy, sénéchal of Saintonge, and of Philippine de Montmorency, he began his court career as a page to Charles VIII, who his father had served as preceptor. He accompanied Charles on the conquest of the Kingdom of Naples in 1495, as well as accompanying Louis XII of France to Italy.

He served as Grand Master of France from January 1515 and attempted to negotiate a lasting peace between France and the House of Habsburg at the time of his early death.

At the Château d'Oiron, Artus had construction works carried out, intended to make it the heart of the family's possessions. In addition to the construction of a gallery, he also started the construction of the Saint-Maurice collegiate church, right next to the castle, which was only completed after his death by his wife and which still houses his Tomb effigy today.

Marriage and children edit

He married in February 1499, Hélène d'Hangest, only daughter of Jacques de Hangest, seigneur de Genlis.
They had two daughters, Hélène and Anne, and one son :
