Commentary


Les armes de Guillard portent de gueules, à deux bourdons de pèlerins d’or posés en chevron, accompagné de trois monts d’argent. Louis et Charles Guillard, oncle et neveu, furent évêques de Chartres. Tous deux furent concernés par l'expansion de l'hérésie dans le diocèse. Le premier fut un administrateur ferme et publia en 1550 des statuts synodaux qui annonçaient déjà la Contre-Réforme. Son neveu Charles, qui le remplaça en 1553, fut accusé de complaisance envers les Réformés, bien que quelques bûchers aient marqué ses débuts. En 1572, il était devenu si détesté par les Chartrains, très attachés à l'orthodoxie, qu'il dut se démettre. Il n'y eut en revanche dans le diocèse aucune persécution liée à la Saint-Barthélémy.
Guillard's coat of arms is gules, with two golden pilgrim's staffs placed in a chevron, accompanied by three silver mounts. Louis and Charles Guillard, uncle and nephew, were bishops of Chartres. Both were involved in the spread of heresy in the diocese. The former was a firm administrator and published synodal statutes in 1550 that already foreshadowed the Counter-Reformation. His nephew Charles, who replaced him in 1553, was accused of being complacent towards the Reformed, although a few pyres marked his early days. By 1572, he had become so hated by the people of Chartres, who were very attached to orthodoxy, that he had to resign. However, there was no persecution in the diocese related to Saint Bartholomew's Day.

Historical background


CHARTRES AND THE PAYS CHARTRAIN

Capital of the Carnutes, Chartres later became Autricum. Seat of a county in the 10th century, Chartres belonged to the house of Blois then to the house of Châtillon and finally it was sold to Philippe le Bel in 1286. Apanage, the county was erected into a duchy in 1528 for the benefit of Renée de France , Duchess of Ferrara. Henri IV was consecrated there on February 27, 1594 in the cathedral. Under Louis XIV, the duchy of Chartres is given to the house of Orléans whose heir will carry, until Louis-Philippe, the title of duke of Chartres.
