He was renowned as a soldier, ready to cross the mountains to fight in Lombardy at any moment. He distinguished himself at the battle of Novara. He was owed considerable sums for his earlier service in France, and as a result, found himself embroiled in the controversies that eventually led to the execution of Guillaume Arsent in Fribourg.

He was sent to be educated in Paris at an early age, and by 1498, he was in Rome, favored by the cardinal Ascanio Sforza and by the politics of the day. The Vatican saw the Swiss, then at the apogee of their political power, as an instrument that might be useful in extending the temporal reach of the papacy in Italy. He held a number of benefices, and came very close to being named bishop of Lausanne in 1510, when Aymon de Montfaucon was considering stepping down. But this appointment, which might have changed the course of history, did not materialize, and Nicolas retired about 1527 to Besan�on.

He studied in Basel and in France, and after some years as a soldier returned to Bern in 1533. Among his more notable exploits may be cited the regiment he led in 1562 in support of the Huguenots, under the prince de Cond�, which penetrated as far as Lyon.

Second husband of Louise Mestral, who survived him. A settlement among the heirs was recorded by Jean Marcuard, notary at Payerne, 23 apr 1571 (ACV DP 2/1, fol. 64v-66). For a sketch of his career, see the online edition of the Dictionnaire Historique de la Suisse.

Appears as a sponsor for a baptism at Morges, where identified as the son of the bailli there, in 1614. Birthdate from traditional genealogy is 1591, but we did not find his baptism. However, there is a baptism indexed to page 376 for the churchbook covering 1582-1602, the page itself now missing. The date would have been in January, 1596, and we suppose the missing page contained the baptism of Albrecht.
[6167] Died while in military service for Austria.

There is a conflict in the information about her husbands. Quite possibly the marriage to Charles de Treytorrens is spurious.
