Commentary


Jean LE CONTE, décédé le 3 avril 1613 à 72 ans, inhumé chapelle de Monsieur de Montauglan, St Nicolas des Champs, vendeur de marée alias vendeur de poisson de mer, fut échevin de Paris en 1578, 1587 et 1594, demeurant rue Saint-Martin en 1607. Il épousa Catherine DES MARETS qui décéda le 16 février 1604 à 61 an ; cette biographie provient de http://www.famillesparisiennes.org/public/jlm/j17ccastagnere.html#LECO .
On doit noter que là encore c’est un marchand de poisson de mer et certainement un membre important de cette corporation qui accède aux fonctions d’échevin.
Notons que si les flammes autour du mat sont très probablement des feux de Saint Elme, la légende de revers est énigmatique.
Jean LE CONTE, died on April 3, 1613 at the age of 72, buried in the chapel of Monsieur de Montauglan, St Nicolas des Champs, fishmonger alias sea fish seller, was alderman of Paris in 1578, 1587 and 1594, living on rue Saint-Martin in 1607. He married Catherine DES MARETS who died on February 16, 1604 at the age of 61; this biography comes from http://www.famillesparisiennes.org/public/jlm/j17ccastagnere.html#LECO . It should be noted that here again it is a sea fish merchant and certainly an important member of this corporation who accedes to the functions of alderman. Note that if the flames around the mast are very probably fires of Saint Elmo, the reverse legend is enigmatic

Historical background


CORPORATIONS

In Rome, groups of artisans already existed: forming a college placed under the protection of a divinity, with a common house and fund. In medieval Europe, probably from religious brotherhoods, economic groups were formed between merchants called hanse or ghilde.. With the development of trade, craftsmen organized themselves into trade bodies or communities which brought together all those who practiced the same profession: masters, journeymen or apprentices.. To enter the body, you had to "swear" the profession. Alongside, there were free professions that could be practiced by all.. Each corps was headed by a collegial management responsible for enforcing the regulations of the trade, protecting the trade from competition and directing the mutual benefit society.. At the end of the 17th century, the king began to sell the functions of jurors and corporate trustees as hereditary offices, which led to serious financial difficulties at a time when the corporations no longer met the new economic requirements of the development of industry and business concentration. It is also in England that the corporations disappeared spontaneously because of the industrial revolution.. The corporations will be abolished in France in 1791 by the Constituent Assembly.
