Its two principal branches were those of the lords of Herbault, La Vrillière, and Saint Florentin, and of the counts of Pontchartrain and Maurepas. The family produced a number of individuals who played an important role in royal administration during the Ancien Régime.
Raimond Balthazar Phélypeaux, seigneur du Verger, a member of the La Vrilliere branch, was sent as ambassador to Savoy in 1700, where he discovered the intrigues of the duke of Savoy, Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, against France; and when war was declared he was kept a close prisoner by the duke (1703–1704). At the time of his death (1713) he was governor-general in the West Indies.
