from
Wikipedia
Montmorency did not return to public life until the accession of Henry II in March 1547.
The new king gave him back all his former offices and dismissed the duchesse d ' Étampes and her followers.
In 1548 Montmorency crushed the insurrections in the southwest, particularly at Bordeaux.
From 1549-50 Montmorency led the war in the Boulonnais, negotiating the treaty for the surrender of Boulogne on 24 March 1550.
As a reward the king created him a duke and peer of France and in 1551 his barony was expanded into a duchy.
Soon afterwards his armies fought in the northeast when the French army seized Metz, Toul and Verdun.
