The Montmorency family is one of the oldest and most distinguished noble families in France. The surname derives from the name of the town Montmorency. Henry IV of France has noted that if ever Bourbons should fail, the Montmorencies would be the only deserving candidates to the French crown. The family has produced many Marshals of France, admirals and cardinals.
