Commentary


Au XVIe siècle, deux sortes de secrétaires du roi sont à distinguer : ceux du grand collège, servant à la chancellerie de France, dont le titre officiel est "secrétaires du Roi, maison, couronne de France et des finances", et ceux du petit collège en fonction dans les chancelleries secondaires nées du démembrement de la grande chancellerie. C'est au premier corps qu'appartient ce jeton frappé sous Henri III.

Historical background


KING'S SECRETARIES

Their function was quite similar to that of our current Secretaries of State. There is an excellent article on the subject online, taken from the Dictionnaire encyclopédique de la noblesse de France by Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais (1773-1842) — Paris, 1816 at http://www.blason-armoiries.org/feodalite -nobility/s/secretaries-of-the-king.htm.
