Commentary


Signalé en cuivre argenté dans Feuardent, cet exemplaire est en cuivre sans argenture mais peut-être l’a-t-il perdue ?
Jean Louis Nogaret de La Valette servit Henri III avec une fidélité totale, ce qui lui valu de nombreuses faveurs du roi. Duc et pair en 1581, il est fait amiral de France en 1587, puis gouverneur de Metz, Toul et Verdun, de la Provence, de la Normandie, de l’Anjou, du Poitou et de la Saintonge. Hostile à Henri IV, il se trouvait toutefois auprès de ce dernier lorsqu’il fut assassiné. Favorable à Marie de Médicis, il chercha à disputer les affaires à Concini. Il est gouverneur militaire de Guyenne à partir de 1622 où il occupe le château de Cadillac dont la construction commence en 1599. Il est définitivement écarté du pouvoir à l’arrivée de Richelieu. Il meurt au château de Loches en 1642.
Reported in silver-plated copper in Feuardent, this example is in copper without silver plating, but perhaps he has lost it? Jean Louis Nogaret de La Valette served Henry III with total loyalty, which earned him many favors from the king. Duke and peer in 1581, he was made admiral of France in 1587, then governor of Metz, Toul and Verdun, of Provence, Normandy, Anjou, Poitou and Saintonge. Hostile to Henry IV, he was nevertheless with the latter when he was assassinated. Favorable to Marie de Medici, he sought to dispute matters with Concini. He was military governor of Guyenne from 1622 where he occupied the Château de Cadillac, the construction of which began in 1599. He was definitively removed from power upon the arrival of Richelieu. He died at the Château de Loches in 1642

Historical background


AQUITAINE - CITIES AND GENTRY

Aquitaine was one of the four great regions of Gaul, under the Romans it was divided into three provinces. Visigoth in 419, it passed to the Franks in 507. Under the Carolingians, it was a dependent kingdom most often given to the son of the king. In 877, it became a duchy which passed to the Poitevine dynasty. By the remarriage of Aliénor, the duchy passes to the Angevin dynasty of England. Confiscated by Philippe Auguste, it was returned to the Treaty of Paris in 1259 and then took the name of Guyenne. Principality of the Black Prince, it was confiscated in 1370 but only fully reconquered under Charles VII during the Battle of Castillon (1453).
