The role of the Château de Chantilly in the Jaunay story 4
Within the nearby town of Chantilly there are many examples of the Condé influence. Unfortunately the cemetery where the Jaunays and Brunets were laid to rest no longer exists. The Hospice de Condé was established by the Grande Condé's mother in 1647. It was relocated and expanded to its present location and state in the centre of Chantilly during the Eighteenth Century. Jean Baptiste Jaunay's only recorded child, François Marie was born here on 10 September 1776 and baptised the following day by the hospital chaplain. [see text at end of article] Nearby stands the ancient chapel of Saint-Laurent built by the High Constable, Anne de Montmorency. He was also the man who commissioned the building of the Petit Château. Here was the first burial ground in Chantilly. No trace of it remains. Jean Louis Philogène Brunet, his wife and an infant son, Louis Henry were all buried in this place.
