 This was in reprisal for the resistance of Louis Sales, younger brother of Saint Francis de Sales, captain-governor of the Château d'Annecy.The latter had refused to surrender the Annecy castle to the King's troops, commanded by Gaspard III de Coligny, Maréchal de Châtillon.In 1672, three nephews of Louis Sales, including Monseigneur Charles-Auguste de Sales, Prince-bishop of Geneva, built a chapel on the ruins of the Château de Sales, on the precise location of the room where Saint François de Sales had been born.
