Philibert de Gramont came of a noble Gascon family, said to have been Basque in origin. His grandmother, Diane d'Andouins, comtesse de Gramont, was "la belle Corisande," one of the mistresses of Henry IV. The grandson assumed that his father, Antoine II de Gramont, viceroy of Navarre, was the son of Henry IV, and regretted that he had not claimed the privileges of royal paternity. Philibert de Gramont was born to Antoine II and his second wife, Claude de Montmorency, probably at the family seat of Bidache.
