Guy XX de Laval
Guy XX de Laval, François de Coligny (6 May 1585 – 3 December 1605) was the Count of Laval (Mayenne) and Baron of Quintin. He was son of Guy XIX de Laval, himself a son of François de Coligny d'Andelot, and Anne d'Algère.
In 1588, Anne d'Algère took him to Sedan so that he could be raised as a Protestant. In April 1605, however, Guy XX de Laval converted to Catholicism.
Near the end of 1605 he led an expedition in Hungary against the Turks and died in combat on December 3 of that year.
He was the last Count of Laval to take the name of Guy.
