Nicolas de Harlay, seigneur de Sancy Maximilien de Béthune, duc de Sully. Meanwhile he had been a second time converted to Catholicism, but his influence at court waned, and he retired from public life in 1605. He survived until 13 October 1629, leaving a "Discours sur l'occurrence des affaires". His son, Achille Harlay de Sancy (1581–1646), was bishop of Saint-Malo. The Sancy diamond's known history began circa 1570 in Constantinople when purchased by de Sancy. Something of a gem connoisseur, de Sancy used his knowledge to prosperous advantage. Henry III of France suffered from premature baldness and tried to conceal this fact by wearing a cap.
Kosmos-3M Kosmos-3M The Kosmos-3M ( meaning ""Cosmos"", GRAU index 11K65M) is a Russian space launch vehicle, member of the Kosmos (rocket family). It is a liquid-fueled two-stage rocket, first launched in 1967 and with over 420 successful launches to its name. The Kosmos-3M uses UDMH fuel and AK27I oxidizer (red fuming nitric acid) to lift roughly of payload into orbit. It differed from the earlier Kosmos-3 in its finer control of the second-stage burn, allowing operators to tune the thrust and even channel it through nozzles that helped orient the rocket for the launching of multiple satellites at one time.
