Roger II de Saint-Lary, seigneur de Termes, duc de Bellegarde (10 December 156213 July 1646 in Paris), nephew of Roger de Saint-Lary de Bellegarde, was a French duke.
Life
A son of Jean de Saint-Lary, who was a military governor of Metz, he was brought to court by the duke of Épernon. He quickly became a favourite of Henry III and maintained this position during the reigns of Henry IV, and Louis XIII. It was also during the reign of Henry III that he became royal master of the horse. In 1602 he received the title of governor of Burgundy after his involvement against the Biron conspiracy.
His estate of Seurre in Burgundy was created a duchy in the peerage of France (duché-pairie) in his favour under the name of Bellegarde, in 1619. In 1645 the title of this duchy was transferred to the estate of Choisy-aux-Loges in Gâtinais.
