Honoré d'Albert (1581 – 30 October 1649), Marshal of France, Vidame of Amiens and Seigneur of Picquigny through his marriage to Claire Charlotte Eugénie d'Ailly, Countess of Chaulnes, was the first Duke of Chaulnes, a title created by Louis XIII in 1621.
He came to court under the name of Cadenet. His brother, Charles d'Albert, Duke of Luynes, the favorite of Louis XIII, brought him the good graces of the prince, who made him in 1615 an officer in the government of Amboise, of which Luynes was Governor. In 1617 he was made mestre de camp of the Régiment de Normandie after the banishment of the Count of La Penne, the son of Concino Concini.
1619 saw d'Albert appointed to be Governor of Picardy, Knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit, and Marshal of France. In 1620 he married Claire Charlotte Eugénie d'Ailly, on the condition that he and his descendants take the name and coat of arms of the House d'Ailly, and that he would become Vidame of Amiens and Seigneur of Picquigny.
