La Palice, Grand Marshal of France (1470-1525)
Jacques II de Chabannes, Lord of La Palice, distinguished himself during the Battle of Marignan, which earned him the title of Marshal of France in 1515. He was killed on February 24, 1525 at the Battle of Pavia. He gave his name to the famous "truism". Still, it wasn't much for him, all he had to do was die in the war for his soldiers to dedicate a song to him.
