Resulting from old the House of Hay in Brittany, it was initially to advise in 1616, then prosecuting attorney with the Parlement of Brittany in 1618, then main of the requests in 1623 and finally to advise State in 1633. Charged with establishing the Parliament of Béarn in 1621 with Pau, it exerted, in 1655, the intendance of justice in the royal army, ordered by the king Louis XIII in person.

Its spirit made it choose to be one of the first members of the French Academy, and he was the first secretary of this company until his death.

Just magistrate and skilful speaker, it often employed his eloquence to try to save the victims of the revenge on the Cardinal of Richelieu, and it was one of those which interceded with the most heat in favor of the Duc of Montmorency.

One quotes of him several witty remarks. One day that it was with Mr. of Saint-Preuil which requested the grace of this lord, and which it insisted itself of all his capacity, the king says to him: “I think that Mr. of Chastelet would like to have lost an arm to save Mr. de Montmorenci. ” He answered: “I would like, lord, to have lost them both, because they are useless with your service, and to have saved one which gained you of them battles and which would still gain you. The factum that it published in favor of Bouteville and Chapelle S appeared so eloquent and so bold, which Richelieu reproached him that its part seemed to condemn the justice of the king: “By give, retorted to me of Chastelet, it is to justify its mercy, if it uses about it in it towards one of the most valiant men of its kingdom.”

It takes the defense of François de Montmorency-Bouteville and he is also judge (challenged) with the lawsuit of Louis de Marillac.

A little before its death, it made him give 40.000 ecus; also this one, in the majority of its works, attempts to make the Panégyrique of the cardinal.

He is a burning propagandist of Richelieu. One knows many works in answer to him to make out directed against this minister by partisans of the queen mother or Gaston de France. He inaugurates the twentieth armchair of the French Academy of which he is the first secretary (1634). He died during the program of Lorraine, third period of the Guerre Thirty Year old, where he fulfilled the functions of Intendant of justice.
