Commentary


Les turcies sont des digues élevées le long de la Loire et quelques-uns de ses affluents pour garantir des crues subites et pour servir de routes le long des fleuves. C’était une des principales dépenses des Ponts et Chaussées. Deux ingénieurs, à Moulins et Orléans, s’occupaient des turcies. Thomas Bedacier est trésorier des turcies et levées. Il est maire de 1624 à 1626 et porte d’azur, à l’autruche d’or posée sur une faulx d’argent et tenant au bec un serpent de même.
The turcies are dikes built along the Loire and some of its tributaries to protect against flash floods and to serve as roads along the rivers. This was one of the main expenses of the Bridges and Roads Department. Two engineers, in Moulins and Orléans, were in charge of the turcies. Thomas Bedacier was treasurer of the turcies and levies. He was mayor from 1624 to 1626 and wore azure, with a gold ostrich placed on a silver scythe and holding a silver snake in its beak.

Historical background


TOURAINE - GENTRY AND TOWNS

Region of the Turones Celts, Touraine has as main city Turones or Caesarodunum (Tours) under the Romans, of which it is the capital of Lyonnaise IIIe. After the Battle of Vouillé in 507, it passed to the Franks. It became county in the 10th century and the stake of a rivalry between the houses of Anjou and Blois. It was confiscated in 1203 from Jean sans Terre. It became the prerogative of many princes and ended up being attached to the Crown on the death of François d'Alençon in 1584. The city of Tours was one of the favorite residences of Charles VII and Louis XI. In 1870, it hosted the delegation of the National Defense government before being taken by the Bavarians in 1871..
