The king shared his fondness for hunting and rapidly advanced him in favour. In 1615 he was appointed commander of the Louvre and counsellor, and the following year grand falconer of France. He used his influence over the king in the court intrigues against the queen-mother Marie de 'Medici and her favourite Concini. It was Luynes who, with Vitry , captain of the guard, arranged the plot that ended in Concini's assassinaton (1617) and secured all the latter's possessions in Italy and France.

In the same year he was appointed captain of the Bastille and lieutenant-general of Normandy, and married Marie de Rohan, daughter of the duke of Montbazon . He employed extreme measures against the pamphleteers of the time, but sought peace in Italy and with the Protestants.
