Commentary
Pierre Le Marchant est écuyer et porte d'argent, au chevron de gueules, accompagné de 3 roses de même posées deux et un. Deux localités appelées Saint-Manvieu existent : Saint-Manvieu-Bocage (canton de Saint-Sever-Calvados, Calvados) et Saint-Manvieu-Norrey (canton de Tilly-sur-Seulles, Calvados). Pierre Le Marchant est aussi seigneur du Rozel (canton de Les Pieux, Manche). Il fonda au Puy du Palinod de Caen une Ode française, dont le prix est de 100 jetons d’argent dans une bourse de velours vert. Conseiller et secrétaire du roi, trésorier général de France à Caen, il mourut dans cette ville où il est inhumé dans l’église des Cordeliers. Il est le dernier mâle de cette branche. Le bureau des finances d’une généralité est composé de sept personnes : cinq trésoriers généraux de France (deux pour le Domaine, deux pour les aides et imposition, un trésorier) ainsi qu’un greffier et un huissier. L’institution tombe en une profonde inutilité aux XVII et XVIIIe siècles : un autre trésorier de France fut célèbre à Caen, la Bruyère, qui en douze ans, n’est venu que le jour de sa réception.

Pierre Le Marchant is also lord of Rozel (canton of Les Pieux, Manche). He founded a French Ode at Puy du Palinod in Caen, the price of which is 100 silver tokens in a green velvet purse. Advisor and secretary to the king, general treasurer of France in Caen, he died in this city where he is buried in the Cordeliers church. He is the last male of this branch. The finance office of a generality is composed of seven people: five general treasurers of France (two for the Domain, two for aid and taxation, one treasurer) as well as a clerk and a bailiff. The institution fell into profound uselessness in the 17th and 18th centuries: another treasurer of France was famous in Caen, La Bruyère, who in twelve years, only came on the day of his reception

Historical background
NORMANDY (GENTRY AND TOWNS OF...)
Normandy covers on the one hand the region of Rouen or upper Normandy around the Seine valley and on the other hand lower Normandy around Caen with the Cotentin and the Pays d'Auge. Inhabited since the Paleolithic era, the Seine valley is an important way of trade and habitation, and is then occupied by various Celtic peoples such as the Calètes, the Véliocasses or the Aulerques Éburovices. Roman, it then passes into the kingdom of Syagrius before being occupied by the Franks from 486. Ravaged by the incursions of the Normans, the region was recognized by Charles the Simple.. The Dukes of Normandy were then the allies of the first Capetians and in the 11th century were at the head of one of the richest and best administratively organized states in Europe, which is also shown by the expansion towards southern Italy and england. In the French monarchy, Normandy keeps its institutions, for example with the maintenance of the Exchequer, or its customary law codified in the "Grand Coutumier". Deeply affected during the Wars of Religion, Normandy saw its last vestiges of independence disappear in the 17th century following the revolts of the "Barefoot". The textile industry was favored under Colbert which gave a new economic boost to Normandy.
