The king spent three months imprisonment in Pizzighettone Castle , during which he had Anne de Montmorency , Philippe Chabot de Brion, Jean de La Barre and the treasurer Philibert Babou de La Bourdaisière at his side, who were allowed to move between the Commute castle and royal court in Lyon . At the beginning of 1526 he was imprisoned in Madrid with Franz I , from which letters have been received. B. sent to Margaret of Navarre , the king's sister.

After the king's release, he received the county of Étampes for life, i.e. as a non-hereditary fief, by patent letter of April 13, 1526 ( Mont-de-Marsan ) . The office as Prévôt de Paris was confirmed on June 11, 1526, on June 27, 1526 he was Lieutenant du roi à Paris et en Île-de-France en l'absence du Marquis de Saluzzo , and on December 11, 1528 Governor of Paris when the office was divided after the death of the Marquis; the two governorships were merged again after the death of Jean de La Barres.

As Prévôt de Paris, on August 19, 1532, he laid the foundation stone for the new building of the Saint-Eustache church in Paris . The following year he gave up the post, here too Jean d'Estouteville was his successor. He died in February 1534 as governor of Paris; on June 25 of the same year, Francis I gave the county of Étampes to Jean IV. de Brosse , who had married the royal mistress Anne de Pisseleu d'Heilly the year before , and raised her to a duchy in 1536.
