Louis de Perreau, Sieur de Castillon was the French ambassador to England during the reign of Henry VIII. He served at the English court from November 1537 to December 1538 and was replaced by Charles de Marillac.[1] His predecessor was Antoine de Castelnau.

Perreau described Henry VIII: 'I have to deal with the most dangerous and cruel man in the world, for [when] he is in a fury, he has neither reason nor understanding left.' [2][3]
