ATVANT-PROPOS

The making of a genealogy requires knowledge of specific stories, memories, actions,

parts of all kinds and it is easy to imagine the immense work of reading that must be undertaken before putting hand with pen and what trouble it costs to reconcile in an ingenious way the frequent contradictions they encounter, to fill gaps and to take the truth

of a dark abyss.

The pages that follow are the result of long and patient research. We

reported in as much detail as possible the history of the family Fradin which held

in the old French company a place more honorable. But if the modern part of our

story was relatively easy to reconstruct, what difficulties has presented us the

ancient period!

The Revolution, in fact, was fatal to diplomas, securities, family scrolls.

There was at that time a considerable amount of paper burned secretly in fear of the knife

of terror, burned, lacerated by order of the authority, dispersed during the Emigration. And new

difficulty, acts of civil status drawn up revolutionary names faded worn for centuries. We see it in

the parts we were able with difficulty muster. We deplore the destructive work scissors

considering, the Notes, the provisions of some of our ancestors, we need songs mostly to the

kindness of a distant cousin whom we thank from my heart. We search in vain for the seals who

were appended to the original and yet we feel happy that the parchment was qu'entaillé or torn.

Regarding the beginning of our history we have drawn heavily on the collection of

Echevinage the Cahiers de Saint Jean d'Angely documents of inestimable value and as

we would have found in any Mayor of France.

We also had the good fortune to enjoy the remarkable historical works of Messrs Guillonnet-

Merville, Louis Claude Saudau, Dionysius of Aussy and Faye who have just occupied the two cities

inhabited by our family, Saint Jean d'Angely and Civray. The information we found on Fradin,

who played their role in the local history of these old cities, were complemented by those we have

extracted from our private archives, or we need to compile all documents kinds or our research in

the departmental and communal archives.

We were able to trace the entire lineage of our direct branch from the end of XIIIecentury,

indicating for each of its members the name of fiefs possessed by them. we

9TheES FRadin

seemed unnecessary to mention in the course of the narrative source where we have

drawn particular intelligence. We felt that the brackets or notes would harm our text

and complicate. We we be content to assure our readers that we have not invented

anything. A few dates, it is true, were found by deduction, but for those ones to the word

that precedes them, show although they are ours.

We especially busy genealogy of the elder or direct branch that is the most

interesting and the one we had the most data.

As for the younger branches we merely take in two, that of the Vigerie Fradin and

Fradin of Chalentonnière we were able to reconstruct fully. For others, and among the

latter, that of Fradin Rocks, Fradin of the Renaudière we could not, for want of authentic

documents classified in a serious way. But let us hasten to say that they are less

important because none of their members has as we know, in a leading position. We also

met two other branches. But their descendants have remained deaf to our requests.

Reduced to our own resources we could not succeed. We are forced to leave them aside.

Very few families like ours will prove a genealogy of this age and this is a glorious

title that can rightly envy Fradin. If none of them came to fame at least we have the

satisfaction of knowing that the honor and probity were sent home from father to son for

more than six centuries amid the vicissitudes of fortune and politics.

And where do we find the example of a family that faithfully maintains high

office for five generations? This is certainly a great example of perseverance.

We deliver the history of Fradin meditations of all our parents to some degree it

may be. It may be of interest to the surprise but surely because many are unaware of the

first words. If we are their pleasant by letting them know their origins, we consider

amply rewarded six years of work we have coûtées pages you will read.

BRANCHE DIRECTE

OF BOF ESSE BELLABRE

The Fradin family Belabre or Bellabre whose earthly name is spelled thus in the three

confessions made February 22, 1698, July 29, 1744 and May 24, 1773 for the fief of that name

located in Poitou back titles by the beginning of the XIVe century.

It owes its nobility to municipal charges that his first authors occupied

in Saint Jean d'Angely. She is originally from Saintonge.

Coat of Fradin is usually: gold chevron gules with three grape stems and purple

leaved Vert placed two and one.

However after the seals, badly burned remains of which still exist in the archives of

Vienna on confessions fiefs of Fraisne and Mazerolles, it seems that the pieces called three

grapes were originally three of beechnuts ash. Indeed, Fradins were lords of Fraisne. In

addition, a certain similarity of the Latin words ERADINUS and FRAXINUScould have decided

the first Fradins ennobled make ash of flowers for their image. Of course, this is just a guess

on our part.

When in doubt, we will keep the grapes adopted by the whole family.

Since Charles XII Fradin, direct branch added to his coat of arms the motto:

"A good tree, fine fruit."

In 1760 clerks Hozier, genealogist King, gave the ex Fradins Civray who had neglected

to send a description of their image: reds with three irons picnic money. These are fancy

weapons as received so many families, which is claimed as a tax measure registration fee.

These false heraldry, heraldic fantasies worthless, invented by clerks Hozier, are a common

cause of error because they are often mistaken for the real arms.

I - JEHAN FRadin

The first known ancestor of the family Fradin is a JEHANBorn in 1270, which is mentioned

in the records of the Echevinage the town of Saint Jean d'Angely. He is father of another Jehan

we shall see later, and two children: William and Heliot.

This Jehan Fradin who lived at the end of XIIIecentury was lord of Fraisne and

probably practiced as his eldest son's profession draper. He was a notable in his

hometown. His wife's name was Ayme Dordes. She was widowed in 1332, as seen in this

excerpt from the minutes of the municipal assembly or Mézée of 29 October this year, in

the ancient records of the Echevinage.

"Prover doibt Estène Girard against Johane feme Ayme Dordes that

Li confessed that model only li promised paier unparallel Johan Fradin

his fire Lord li ought, as he was acuylhit to said Johan Fradin XXXIII

jourdées and the priz VI soils fère touceans which he ehu solement The

made prover under said produccion to duy VIII days. "

But the accusation was probably untrue because 1st December we find

the following:

"Today is absolved Johane déguerpie (widow) Fire Johan Fradin,

demand for Estène Girard for what he did Prové nothing of his

enunciation, because laquèle was begun in nostre runs the Friday

before the feast of All Saints next passed. "

From his marriage Jehan Fradin had three children:

2 HELIOT or HELIE that the mézée of November 15, 1332 present a complaint

against a Colin The floater and the 17th of the same month is lacking,

3 JEHAN Councilor for the City of Saint Jean d'Angely in 1357, who married

and had a son, William, Lord Puygiraud, first per (even) from his

hometown from 1390 to 1405 and an adviser to 1418 .

Although this William does not belong to the direct branch we allow for him digress,

because we have about him interesting information, and some piquant details about his

private life and mores of his time.

It seems he was already fashionable at this time to challenge the note from his tailor.

Excerpts from the Register of City Body deliberations note that mindset.

"On July 22, 1405 - condempné is judgment and consent Guillaume Fradin and

to make in next eight days from Peter to Saourses, the sum of forty-five sols six

deniers tournaments vendicion linens Layne he confessed and having received said

said Fradin Burped him to pay said sum as said Fradin pay for it.

"September 7, 1406 - condempné is judgment and consent Guillaume

Fradin make and paier to Gieffroy Guiartun good to point for his body, in St.

Michael coming and said Gieffroy bailliera him estoffe and said Fradin li pay

and still is condempné said Fradin said Gieffroy make the sleeves of a doublet

and Gieffoy li pay the way, "

According to the following paragraph, the wife of William, which we

unfortunately know that the Christian name would have also had problems

with the same Gieffroy.

"August 23, 1406 - From the demand was Gieffroy Guiart the sum of V

soils because of certain goods from its opener bailhez to Phelippe, feme

Guillaume Fradin confessed said Phelippe to owe two sols six deniers instead,

which she comdepnée been paying him in next seven days coming, and the other

Now here Guillaume in violation of the bylaws, for if we believe in the

same hall of records:

"On Saturday, IIIeDay Aoust 1408 Aujourdhuy have deffendu

Fradin William's cousin) and his command to payne LX soubz nuletant in

the sum of ten pounds "

He also had trouble with the Bernart as mayor, his other cousin, as

discussed in section thereof.

He was lord of Puygiraud stronghold he held in honor of Sir John

Nuchèze. This stronghold was located near Breuil Aigonnay. It makes

confession 20 May 1405. But here is an ancestor who served us enough.

II - GUILLAUME FRadin

SOF ord FRAISNE, NOT VERY LIKELY TO THE'YEAR 1302 TO DEATH 1362.

ECHEVIN CITY SAINT-JEAN-D'ATNGELY.

13TheES FRadin

His name is mentioned in a Latin number the stronghold Fraisne near Saint Jean

d'Angely, dated Mardi Gras after the feast of St. Mark the year 1311. Then we see

mentioned repeatedly in the records of the Echevinage Saint John.

In 1332, he was one of the parks (peers) of the city and one of its notable

cloth merchants.

It turned out he was recalcitrant debtors, because many times, it makes

condemn Mézée, to pay him what they need, as appears from the above

mentioned and records Here are some excerpts:

"Mézée 1stMay 1332 and June day before penthecost: Mathiot of

Sezine, the XVII. S XI. Guillaume Fradin due to sales sheets. "

"June 11th 1332. condemnation. Maciot and P Tournay

brothers XXV Solz due to Guillaume Fradin for sale sheets"

"July 7 1332. Conviction: Perrot Constentinboucher percent

"July 16. Idem. Johan Contant XVIII soil XX funds, due to

"July 17. Idem. The feme Guillaume Huguet, X Solz due to

Guillaume Fradin for sale sheets. "

"August 4 Idem. G. Chasteauteri the XVIII. VII s. Guillaume

Fradin for sale sheets. etc. "

On 11 December the same year he Eleu with Sire J. Gaillart by the city

of body fere tower (the treasure) cover.

In 1357, he listed the twelve aldermen. The October 8, 1360, he had the sad honor

to be, with the mayor and his colleagues, the oath of allegiance to the King of England

when, after the fatal battle Poitiersperdue by John the Good, Saint Jean d'Angely passed

again by the Treaty of Bretigny, under English rule. The record still exists and bears his

signature. We saw the reproduction in the memories of the Deux-Sèvres Statistical

Society.

We could not find the name of William's wife, but we do know he had two son: 1.

Ambrois or Ambroys following and 2 Bernart born in 1336.

We must mention that Bernart bourgeois Fradinnotable and worthy

magistrate, whose name is for each page deliberative records City of the body

of Saint Jean d'Angely.

First Councilor and Alderman he fu, April 21, 1373, at the age of thirty-seven years Soubz

elected mayor unanimously. He retained the office until his death in June 1410. It was therefore

for thirty seven years closely associated with the history of the town which is round

14TheES FRADIN

à Councilor round, jury and prosecutor. He enjoyed the general account and

his funeral was celebrated at the expense of Echevinage.

We could cover pages of his actions.

Although it is not within the context of this story to take us too long for

younger sons, we can not resist the desire to reproduce here some notes we

have drawn here and there in the records of the mayor and that may be of

interest of curiosity.

First we see that the allocations were multiple Bernart as to:

"Mézée of 23 September 1375, all are assentement that Bernart

Roger Fradin and Groleapurgent the prouffiz of deffaus Guard doors and

regaix and Gaix to run and commanders of the five districts their will to

say, each night the diz duffaus. "

One should not forget that Saint Jean d'Angely was a walled city and

municipal officers commanded the local militia.

"Mézée of 21 March 1390 ordering Soubz Mayor Bernart Fradin and

sergeants Guillaume André Ogeret Bilonlesquels have sworn and also

ressercher per day per Nuyt, and will go on the walls, and Gaix regaix, one

evening, the another morning and will each have to pay hundred sols per

year. "

In 1381, as eschevin he signed on June 28 a past transaction between

the city and a former mayor Sir Bernart Tronquière.

It is, in 1390, with his brother Ambrose and Hugh Cumont, guardian

Marion Janehte (sic) Hammers, their parent in all three.

Now comes further evidence of the trust placed in her city of the body.

"Have Bailhe warn the largest Envelope Sealers said common cestus

this year (1392) to Bernart Fradin, which made it good Sermont seal

anything, save those that are past and ordennées by the municipality."

"Mézée 22 August 1392.- Whether one facet wit people of the city that they

provide written before Bernart Fradin that Metra to written by them all what

people are soulz weapons that the Government of Mr. and Coucy Mr. Meaux

doybvent ly and to transmit to written. "

The following lines show that the functions of Mayor Soubz were not

absolutely free.

"Mézée May 7 1395. It is ORDENE that Bernart Fradin will cestus anée Soubz

Mayor pledges to acostumez and said Bernart hath been often to the office of Recepte

Roy nostre Sire, and resparacions of Chastel St. John, Daniel will Loys to help li

audit office said Bernat when there will

15TheES FRadin

be of it, and that said Loys escripra and will be valid and will be

his payment we send travailh and diligence on the wages of that

Bernart. "

It would seem that the treasure of the city was not in funds, since in mézée of October 15,

1395, the mayor, mayor soubz etc ... demanding their hired Hugh Cumontreceveur. Bernart in

turn requires ten tournaments pounds, about nine hundred francs current value.

Here now in new functions:

"Mézée of Friday, 14 April 1396. Present forty. Ordained Bernart Fradin,

soubz mayor and Lois Daniel will clerk records, the guages of ten books, which they

will share in half, and worth and tend that said Lois will and will enter said common

at both as fhould said Bernart Fradin . "

Here it is going in deputation:

"Mézée of August 4, 1396. Have ordered Ambrois Saumur Sire, sire

Berthomé Marquis Bernart Fradin, or two of the three auyent to Xaintes,

when convened by Bishop Pons on reducing the pastures to bring back

order which will make, and is ordered to do their Perrotin expense of the

barrier will be worth their money from the pastures, which Despence li

will be allocated in its accounts. "

On January 12, 1396, he was appointed visitor of wines Éritage (sic)

bourgeois and jurors of the town. This wine had a reputation and was offered

as a gift to the King or VIPs.

On July 11, it is present with Guillaume to a judgment ordering that the

wine entered the city without permission of the mayor or shedding of.

On September 4, he gave plege (deposit) for Pierre Barrièreun of his

colleagues and friends trapped Echevinage, "for the fact Montrichard" offense of

which he is not given an explanation, but seems to be serious.

Here now deciding taxes. It is loaded with eight aldermen, July 22, 1397, to make

a tailhée on the inhabitants of the town, because of the salary of Monsignor Mayor and

his officers. This tailhée also occasioned such protests on 22 March, was ordered to repay

the money.

On 23 October 1397 he went with several colleagues judgment against a woman

accused of abuse by another woman. Verdict: twenty five damage soil!

He was given, April 11, 1399, with Mayor Bernat Tronquière, custody of the

Ark of Privileges and Letters of the town "and they fascent inventory."

It happened some faith to touch his salary since the Mézée of 11 March 1406,

it was felt that Bernart Fradin be paid what is due him for his wages last year "ajar

on penalties to lift, c 'wit, X souls. "

16TheES FRADIN

On 8 June the same year he was ordained Commissioner supervising accounts examiner

then enquesteur August 7 in a case against the King of Prevost, Jehan Baguenon.

On July 16, 1406, he is responsible for the inventory of goods Jehan Pastoureau fire.

This inventory, prepared and signed by him, is a valuable document and more curious. It

almost gives the description of the old Saint-Jean d'Angely. Ambrois Fradin, Governor, acting

mayor instead of Bernart Tronquière died, is mentioned as having agreed to ensure that the

interests of rightholders are harmed.

We next see a controversy with his cousin William. The case goes before

the mayor's court. We retained the following particulars:

"On 13 July 1406, Bernart Fradin as heir because of his wife, the late Pierre

River, plaintiff, against Jehan Fouilladearmurier, deffendeur on and because of a

piece of iron for armor that was fiery Peter's river apparoissent personally said

portions, called garament said Fouillade, Guillaume Fradin which this trial was to

Prins ESGARD deffence and said short of its ESGARD and goes without despens

said Fouillade. "

"Said Bernart Fradin against Guillaume Fradin deffendeur condempné is

said Guillaume Fradin, make and restore to Bernart Fradin in next eight days

from each forearm armor, or XII sols six deniers that lediz forearm and have

beene venduz as a gauntlet. "

"July 22, 1406 - In the adjournment or assignacion for today at the

Tribunal's court between Bernart Fradin as heir in part because of his wife, the

late Pierre the applicant River against Guillaume Fradin, as having took the

ESGARD Jehan Fouillade on and due to a piece of iron to weave said Pierre fire

River yawned said Fouillade for adouber, hath been condempné said Guillaume

Fradin make and restore to Bernart said iron piece dedens eight coming next

few days. "

Bernart Fradin died in June 1410. His will is rather curious. Here also the

copy. We read on the outer margin of the register of deliberations of the City

Corps of Saint Jean d'Angely where it is transcribed:

"Onquel paper is copied fire will Bernart Fradin and Yolent of Rivièresa feme

It is very likely that the fillohe (goddaughter) he speaks in this will is one of the young

III - ATMBROIS FRadin

ECuyerSOF ord BTHE ESSE REU FRance, OF THE VAUGERIVE AND FRAISNE,

BORN TOWARDS 1346 IS THE FIRST OF OUR ANCESTORS THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT

HOLDING IN PLACE'HISTORY OF SAINT-JEAND'ATNGELY.

The information abound on him because he was six times mayor in difficult times

whose memory was preserved, including the records of the Echevinage, where you can follow

so to not say no, phases of his political life.

Suffice it to note chronologically interesting paragraphs dealing with, leaving

aside the passages where his presence at mézées or town hall courtyard is simply

chronicled. We also omit the many judgments he made in cases irrelevant.

Since 1386, we see the city with his mother in mézée March 22 about the wheat he sells in

his hotel and on which he receives the right to mining. This right which the name is derived from

the word measure mine containing a half-pint, was paid more generally to the King on wheat sold

publicly to the market. Contrary to what was taking place right across the mining was in Saint

Jean d'Angely held in fief of the Sieur de Taillebourg, instead of being collected for the benefit of

the crown. In 1354, Pierre Charrouaul'arrente to Ambroys Fradin; in 1360 it was confiscated

by King of England and gave Guichard Angles and Florimond Lesparre. 1st

December 1372, the Duke of Berry and the deprived them bestowed by Jean

Saumur rights which Ambroys Fradin had been substituted.

19TheES FRadin

In 1390, Ambroys was one of Saint John councilors. It seems the council April 25,

at the auction "empres the failhie candle" of the annuity firm the entrance to the city.

On May 10, he signs the lease. Guillaume Bessé, Lord said location, witnesses. This

detail is interesting because he married the sister of one.

In mézée held on 30 September of the same year, it was decided

qu'Ambroys and three other members of the aldermen "ayront behalf of ceulz

who receu the pastures and Tuz others."

They called suffered the convention that they paid a fixed fee in lieu of

war requisitions.

On 8 July 1391, as adviser Ambroys orders and the tax rate suffered Bouteville.

At the mézée November 3, it is "ordered" counter, then appointed attorney "in the

own country" with Hugh Cumontdont family later became allied with that of Fradin

and finally Auditor. As we see, he had accumulated.

It is an alderman from 1392.

On 1 December 1396, it is one of three auditors Hugues accounts

Cumontreceveur Mestre and the works of the town, and six years and to

which redoit thirty-eight pounds ten sols and six deniers.

At the mézée of February 9, 1397, Ambrose was ordained "COMPTOUR of

voiages" that Sir Aymeri Seignouret made by France on behalf of the Town Hall.

Here now signing the 16 of the month with William bizarre judgment. The girl Ozanne

Pinson believes the theft of four crowns, four silver and a gold ring is comdamnée buttons "to

soustenir punicion that the cy empres follows. This is to say that it will pillorisée and

implementation pillori a day on Saturday which pillori demourra it from the beginning of the

premium sounding till the end and then EMPRES will be frustrated and beaten naked and led by

four quarrefours of said city, etc. "

We did not go hand dead in that time.

In 1405 Ambroys is elected mayor. His official title is "home Honouré Sire Ambrois

Fradin, Lord of Besse, mayor and town Sainct Jehan-d'Angéli".

The town of Saint Jean d'Angely was then one of the largest in the west

of France and the office of mayor was not exactly a sinecure at the time of

religion and other wars.

The English occupied La Rochelle and much of Saintonge and Aunis. They

were in the interior of continual incursions and St. John had to undergo many

seats where its inhabitants did heroism, often controlled by their mayors whose

duties were the same military time, as were captains militia.

Ambroys Fradin was all that to which his fellow aldermen usually

entrusted the functions of chief magistrate of the city.

20TheES FRADIN

We may be curious about how they proceeded to the election of the mayor. The following

details are from the Treasury Charters and partly, Registers of the city.

The ceremony took place every year on the Sunday of the Passion.

At dawn, the outgoing mayor rang the bells of the city. At the sound of this bell

aldermen, councilors and peers were to meet with the aldermen and competent number for

the election, namely the mayor, twelve aldermen, twelve councilors, the deputy mayor and

seventy-four peers . The mayor took the records of the municipality in which were inscribed

the hundred members of the Town Hall and asked at the meeting how would appoint his

successor, whose election could be done in three ways.

The first, by the voice of the Holy Spirit, that is to say, a member stood up and said:

"Gentlemen, the Holy Spirit inspires me to tell you to competitors for mayor the three I

introduce yourself; deign to tell me if they are right for you. "So if these characters liked

the meeting, the mayor presented the same day Seneschal or in his absence to Lieutenant

General who chooses one for mayor.

The second way to make the election was the voice of the ballot. Everyone, except

the mayor then in office, that of the previous year and the Deputy Mayor that all three

were held in a separate location from where the assembly was deliberating, we say

everyone, took three names as he saw fit and wrote them on a ballot. The operation

finished, then appeared earlier that examined the ballots and counting the votes. The

three individuals who had obtained the majority were enrolled in a register, then each

member took his place and the mayor raising his voice saying "Gentlemen, thank God,

our election is made; those who got the most votes are such, such and such. "Immediately

the mayor presented the three subjects Seneschal or his Lieutenant General who chose

the one he wanted.

The third way to elect the mayor was a compromise. The mayor took the register, opened

it, read the name of peers, identified four he was coming to him and required them to nominate

no pressure three subjects among which we would take a mayor. These four peers appointed by

the mayor met in a location separate from the aldermen from where the assembly was; they chose

on the register of the town, and two counselors were naming the mayor who was to come before

him and made them take an oath as to the four peers. After this operation the four peers and two

councilors met in the aforesaid place, it took the register of the town, read the names of the twelve

aldermen chose in two, not among those on which the election could fall and were naming the

mayor that made them do the above oath. Then all assembled in the eight already indicated where

they chose Aldermen among the three individuals they believed the most upright and enlightened,

and brought the names of these three subjects to the mayor, in the presence of the assembly . In

the same day, the mayor presented the Seneschal who chose as it was said.

Mayor's office were not free. He received his wages for a gold mark currently

about six thousand francs. But these fees are not always paid regularly. The city also

had to reimburse his expenses for official functions. As the wife of the mayor she

lacked not claim the cost ceremonial dinner given by her husband.

21TheES FRadin

The mayor had all the rights of sovereignty which the feudal regime had

invested up Baron. It was a significant character of the province and the

Constable of France addressed the "very shit grant and friend."

Everything about the local police returned to the duties of the mayor whose authority

was absolute in this matter and we can say that vigilance was extreme.

The legend depicts the cities of the Middle Ages as a cluster of buildings weird

appearance with narrow streets full of filth, where, past the time of the curfew,

no one would have ventured without danger of breaking his neck. We can say that XIVe and

XVe century in Saint Jean d'Angely all measures ordered by hygiene had been

taken to ensure the good condition and cleanliness of public roads.

At that time, the city was already paved. Police regulations forbid any deposition of

materials on the streets. Every inhabitant had to remove garbage from the household and it was

forbidden to push the refuse into the creek to have them removed by rainwater. Defense butchers

drop in the city, the droppings of the animals they slaughter, fishmongers to abandon their

benches in the bowels of the fish. Fish and dubious freshness shells were to be burned, either by

sergeants of the Town Hall or by rogues accustomed to this unpleasant task.

And many others too long hygiene orders to report here.

The market regulations were thorough. The mayor had the right to tax

the edible meat, wheat and fix the price of bread.

In a higher order, the mayor Police also extended on the manners and

all interested public health.

We note with some surprise, the intervention of our ancestor Ambroys Fradin, in one case

quite special and very singular. On November 4, 1411, and William Tuquant Gieffroy Jousserea

appearing in the mayor's court in preventing "is Estre embatuz in this city to craft mestier of their

dismissal; free of the mayor." But their mestier was enough to practice certain operation

fashionable in Italy, but we had always believed prohibited by our laws and repulsed by our

morals. It would appear however after

our text at the beginning of the XVe century it was practiced openly and under

the eyes of authority.

"The samedy, Ve day of November, are venuz William Tuquant and Gieffroy

Jousserea, said lesquelz they cut three enffans and hath been their bailhié day Dhuy

in eight days, relieved of Eure, and bring in between, the clerk of the municipality

fathers and mothers enffans they prune to be ilz know have done their work and ilz

stick contented, which will report. "

Administrator, commandant, chief of police, civil and criminal justice,

etc., we see how heavy were the Middle Ages, the charges against the mayor,

and what responsibility this entailed judiciary.

22TheES FRADIN

Members City body had the right to resign their duties to a person of their choice, provided

it was recognized suitable for the well-done, but to their death, they could only be replaced by

election body city, by a majority vote.

If the mayor was that even when elected, the first vacancy alderman was assigned

after leaving office, in order to preserve the nobility it would have lost again becoming

easy par on the expiry of its town hall.

The fee for each member upon admission in the town were ten pounds to benefit

the community and a new shroud to Chaplaincy of Our Lady of Les Halles. Members of

the town had to reside within hearing of the great bell of Echevinage, which is set in

motion to reunite.

The Echevinage which occupied the whole setting of the street that bears his name now, it

collapsed 1765. The clock tower that depended on it, still exists, riding on the street, a hallmark

of the existence of town, which had only the privilege of this type of construction. The large bell

and clock existed before 1406; they were repaired in 1721.

We now speak of the privileges granted to St. Jean d'Angely, and the city

of body defended with jealous care. For this, we will have to trace the origins

of the town.

Saint Jean d'Angely had obtained from Philip Augustus letters patent data

Anet in 1204, where we noted this passage:

"Apud fanum Joannis Angeliaci Sanctorum, Philip II

decuriones Urbis creavit cum suo ipsorum proefecto additis paribus

Rothomagensi civitatis privilegiis, anno 1204."

In XIIIetherefore century, the city that had formed around a monastery founded by Pepin,

king of Aquitaine, obtained a town charter. Soon a town hall stood, and in 1372, its mayors and

aldermen acquired the privileges of the nobility, in consideration of services rendered to the royal

cause during the wars against the British and to serve them "a title glory and reward of honor,

"said the Edict of Charles V, November 9.

These privileges were confirmed later, first in 1412 by Charles VI "in

recognition of the great sacrifices of all time by members of the Echevinage of

Saint Jean d'Angely, who had pushed patriotism and abnegation to go without

the necessary food for longer resist the British and remain attached to the

crown. "

Then, by Charles VII in 1453, and in September 1481 by Louis XI, which extended to

their descendants born and unborn legitimate marriage. Here also the passage of the Edict:

"We, considering the great and commendable service as mayor and aldermen

and their predecessors have done to us and to the crown of France, that they and

their successors are still more likely to be loyal us, have our full power, special grace

and royal authority, given and granted to the said mayor and aldermen of that town

they are nobles themselves and their descendants, born and unborn loyal marriage,

and gave them power and give

23TheES FRadin

to acquire and hold in perpetuity all fiefs and noble courts with all our kingdom

sanz for this or for that nobilisation pay us or our successors not finance or

compensation. Want mayor said, aldermen, and their offspring are kept and

considered noble and enjoy all rights, honors, pre-eminences and prerogatives

that belong to the nobility of privilege; they can get the order of chivalry if they

wish, Etc ... "

These privileges were then surpassed by those of any other city of the kingdom.

In 1621, although they had been confirmed by all the kings, his predecessors, Louis XIII

abolished to punish the town of Saint Jean d'Angely his loyalty to Protestantism and its resistance

to the royal army. It is at this time that the walls were razed.

But a decree of Louis XIV, in January 1714 the register 24 of the same month

(see the Armorial de France Register 1. p. 173) resets and confirms all the privileges

of the nobility granted to all those who have been mayors and aldermen in the cities

of Bordeaux, Saint Jean d'Angely and La Rochelle, and their male descendants, born

or unborn legitimate marriage.

The Treasury said the city still (10e bundle # 1): the mayor and the

twenty-five aldermen or councilors were ennobled and their posterity, etc ...

Mechin in his "Comments Custom" (Tit. IV, chap. II) the treasury of the city (10e bundle #

1) and other documents prove that the mayor had the title of PIRST

BOF ARON SAINTONGE.

One detail that has an interest; the colors of the town of Saint Jean d'Angely were blue and

red, colors that our ancestors, mayors and aldermen had passed and we have retained. The official

costume Echevinage consisted of a black dress with red épitoge lined with blue on the left

shoulder. The uniform archers consisted of a red coat with blue facings, lined with blue, same

cloth buttons, lined skin pants, hat lined with faux silver, blue stockings, buckskin shoes.

The city of body counted among its members, the race of gentlemen whose Besse,

combined with Fradin, who themselves later became Lords of Besse, the name of this

noble fief came into their possession. Besse (feodum Abbatioe) was a fief of the Abbey,

which extended over an area of Saint Jean d'Angely, and some of the suburbs northwest.

We shall return to this fief.

In XVIe XVII centurye century, almost all noble fiefs of the suburbs of St.

John were in the possession of family outings to the aldermen.

But it is time to return to Ambroys Fradin at hand.

The first mézées its town hall show the care he brings to the defense of

the city. His concerns are all warlike. During the 1405 and 1406 years because

the campaign was vigorously pursued by the English against Charles

d'Albret, Constable of France.

24TheES FRADIN

In mézée of January 22, 1405, members of the city body chaired by

Mayor Sir Ambroys Fradin are of opinion that city repairs are made and "the

way it was ordered."

On February 24, 1405, "My lord mayor has assembled the citizens are of

the opinion that maistre Raymond queu alhet in France, to verify devers our

lords Generals, giving and octroy five hundred pounds that Roy nostre Sire

we gave on aid. "

At the mézée of 5 March 1405 we take care of the guards and walls repairs.

On 21 March, Ambroys decide the direct intervention of the people for his opinion on the

newly carved up the city "for the deed of arms people who are above the thick of Xaintonge". It

was new and not provided for in the Municipal Charter thing, but the circumstances were serious

and the measure was necessary. The Assembly protested against this Carved.

March 26, 1405 "Monsignor Mayor Baillie made and" the king's letter

mentioning the donation of five hundred pounds, he gave to the city to take

once on aid for war.

At the mézée May 25, he draws attention to the state of the walls and the meeting

is "of the opinion that my lord the Mayor face to the city and good guard over safely both

by day as by Nuyt of gaiz , regaiz, esty gaiz and keep doors and resserches, Etc ... "

On August 21, he decided it will not diminish the guard of the city.

On October 3, he gives advice, reading the letters that the Duke of

Burgundy, Count of Flanders and Artois and his brothers were sent to the

leaders and to the town, to ensure their goodwill.

On October 21, he ordered that custody of the city is wholly "without fail and if no deffault

there that one of the descharget and do from the deffaults without mercy".

At the mézée November 27th, it still handles the custody of the city.

On 9 December, "My Lord Mayor" is assembling the bourgeois to sound the tocsin, which

are all of opinion that is sent to France to ask for help to the King. The English had indeed appear

to the city and prepared to lay siege to avenge the demolition of the fortress Mortagne Marshal

Montbron had taken them and had demolished by maneuvers , provided and paid for by the mayor

and aldermen.

On the same date, the mayor ordered that the walls are kept both day

and night, the walls are lined with machicoulz and we do repairs "Bachelor

lieuz most needed."

Amidst all these warlike preparations, there is still room for chicanery,

as shown in the following two excerpts:

"The samedy Xe day of October 1405 by G. Méhée, eschevin, condempné is

judgment and consent, Jehan Massac pay and go in VII

25TheES FRadin

next few days coming Sire Ambroys Fradin, now mayor of the city of Saint John,

"Prove said Massac that he holds the said house by way of annuity taken to

fire Jehan Letourneur property to VII years or so, and there ought meter X books ...

of ... in X years, if as he says, has eight days on first producion. "

On October 31, 1405 is Ambroys referee with Sire Jehan Bidaut in a

dispute between Gieffroy Doussin and Peter Moses, about a ... dunghill!

The following fine imposed on it is worthy to be told for its strangeness.

"27 October 1401. Today, Monsignor Mayor, have engaged in

fine Guillaume Prèzeparce that in the short piece, he renyé God by

several foys and departed not from retaizoit."

In the 1406 year, Ambroys Eschevin becomes Prime Saint John. He was assigned to the

mézée of April 24, the key crapaut (lock) of the Ark of the privileges that common.

But the mayor having died, he held back these fontions. During this interim, his official

title is "Governor of the City and Town of St. Jehan Angeli".

It takes, on July 16, a mézée where it is still concerned about the defense of the

city, because the report gives the names of the notables "are lesquieulx assent that is the

facet guished, reguait and storage doors proffitablement well and by the way that is

acostumée and had rather that had rather will. That Pourtal of town called Mastaz who

fent repaired and dubbed it had rather that we can. "

On August 6, it brings the city corporation to who will represent him at

Xaintes, with the Constable of France and bring a welcome letter.

On August 20, 1406, we find this note:

"Aujourd'huy Bailhe hath been warned to Sire Ambroy Fradin, one of the

keys of the Ark where the privileges and Grant dual SceI Town."

The citizens of St. John seem to stick to their reputation as September 17, some

notable meet with the mayor and among them Ambroys to protest "Some threats or

words that are being diez diez faiz or by Monsignor seneschal of Xaintonge Jehan

Harpedanne and My Lady's feme ".

But here's a calamity that threatens the city.

On October 5, the mayor and six citizens, whose sire Ambroys Fradin, are of opinion writing

the King who wants to have the own country of Saintonge, aid VIm books, for

passage of the Duke of Lancaster, and serve him the poverty of the city and the

country.

26TheES FRADIN

There are no interesting few months for Ambroys entry in the records of the

Echevinage, then you realize that was not paid for his last management because the mézée

of March 11, 1407, be it resolved "that the payment we send Sire Ambroys Fradin is the time

he has served the town, in the office of mayor empres death of Sir Bernart Tronquière,

revenues of the city, towns and aultrement entries."

In 1408 Ambroys is new mayor. During his administration, he gave on 31 October at

Armand Chemilhac a curious existense certificate proving the ownership of trademarks and the

superiority of the white arms manufactured in Saint Jean d'Angely, in

XIVe century and beginning of the XVe

That same year, he had to struggle against the claims of the Abbot of St. John who

gave it seems too extension to his real or alleged manorial rights. These were mainly the

picotinage duty on oats, the right to adjust and mark the wheat measures, wine, oil and salt,

as well as ells and weight used in the city and the suburb Taillebourg. The traders to avoid

payment of the duty imposed for such formalities were accustomed to lend each other their

action. The monk provost would prohibit them this power and started prosecutions. But the

mayor Ambroys Fradin took up the cause of the merchants and forced the provost monk to

give up its claims.

To these internal difficulties were added those outside who were of far gravity.

Bands of armed men fired by their captains, but still called to serve blood princes or other

nobles were scattered around Saint Jean d'Angely, is housing, feeding the poor growers

they put to ransom. They took their money, weapons, horses, cattle and crops without

leaving anything or pay anything, so that the inhabitants of the country who could leave

the country went elsewhere to secure their lives and what little they escaped looting.

Ambroys Fradin wrote to the king who sent one of his knights with Xaintonge mission to

hunt the soldiers by force.

On 2 January 1409, Ambroys Fradin makes confession to Taillebourg, the duty of ten

floors chambellage vassal mutation, the fief or fiefs fire Jehan Mimault, consisting of several

pre pieces in the river and that of Ternant Argouïllet, land, wood, census, rents, tithes,

terrages, complans, pesche, couchans and levans men, all in the parish of Ternant. Item,

several hundred and annuities in La Boissiere and some stronghold rights complans and

tithes to the stronghold of the Viallière, one and the other in the parish of Nouliers, and other

rights, all designated and specified face by confession, with right of low justice.

These fiefs came to him from William Besse, his brother -Père.

In 1409 and 1410 he became alderman. He has custody of the key toad

and visitor accounts of Echevinage.

There he is still mayor in 1411.

Then the Body of City very jealous of its privileges does not hesitate to enter into

conflict with the Receiver General Xaintonge representing the royal authority.

On February 3, 1411, Ambroys accompanied by some of his chiefs will remove the seals

affixed "of the King" on the hostel of a member city of the body, Jehan Jugler,

27TheES FRadin

Lord of Bénaste, juror, who had died with no known descendants, whose trays Xaintonge claimed

the succession to the King. The following month, he protests even by order against this attack on

the town privileges that only a matter of itself. This order ended with these lines: "Given and deed

in the court said holding town hall

by us, Ambroys Fradin, mayor of the said town of St. Jehan d'Angéli, IXe day

of March, one thousand IIIIe and unze ".

In June, he opposed with aldermen and councilors imprisonment by Huguet Fors,

Provost of King, an alderman, Jehan Méhé, lord of Giraud and Leigue. The Provost

makes the prisoner who is released on bail.

In 1412, he becomes sheriff. At March 31, he was given one of the keys

of the Ark where seals and common privileges.

1stJune, he presides over a decision of the Board regarding Aulnay captain's

claims seeking to compel the people to "watch and guard the chastel". On 11 of

the same month, he was appointed judge and criminal lieutenant. It is described

as sire and noble man and his son Pierre.

In this same year 1412, Saintonge North was again threatened by the English who

captured several strongholds. The city corporation had to hastily repair the fortifications

and turns people gave each a day to dredge the moat. The walls were lined with barrels,

rocks and other objects and defensive wealthy citizens whose Fradin, imposed

themselves ten money to buy war supplies.

The city body was making guns and gear ramparts throwing stone balls

including how cost, small five pence the pair, the big five pence piece. Then Marshal

Guyenne sent a knight and sixty men in arms to help the defense. These last oath

before the city body to be "loyal to the king and the city."

It is in difficult times that the commune members made great sacrifices and

pushed patriotism and self-sacrifice to go without food longer necessary to resist the

British and remain attached to the Crown.

Registers a passage reminiscent of a little ridiculous required of the local militia.

On February 13, 1413, as it became known that the British were advancing under the

command of the Duke of Clarence, city of the body ordered all Angériens capable of

bearing arms to be constantly armed, barely sixty floors of fine. Furthermore, since then

as well as today, the civic guards did not spare the jeers of their more or less weird

military attire, he gave them to defense mock each other barely a fine of two sols six

deniers.

Ambroys seen listed as the Public Prosecutor substitute. In a report that begins with these

words: "On Sunday we sing in Saincte Mother Church judica me, IXe

April day IIIIeXIII, etc. ". His son Peter's clerk. On August 24, in another room, he signed as Prosecutor

of the town and 6 November, as Lieutenant Mayor of Bishop.

28TheES FRADIN

He was elected Mayor for the fifth time in 1416.

The same year, on February 19, he makes confession to Sieur de Beaulieu near Aulnay,

tithing

the fief of Vaugerive. 1st July is allocated a sum of ten pounds in four

tournaments for only hold large Assizes of the Seneschal.

We find nothing striking about him for several years, apart from numerous mentions

of his name in the Notebooks of the Town Hall during deliberations taken jointly with

colleagues. We only mention a strict order against blasphemers who punished those who

denied Christ or blasphemed against him, a fine of sixty soil for the first time, a hundred

floors to the second and ten pounds for the third. The fourth time, the culprit was pilloried,

suffered severe physical punishment or had his tongue cut according to the seriousness of

blasphemy.

On November 3 1419, Ambroys makes a count Charles of Britain, Lord

of Thouars. This piece is in the Archives of Matha.

In 1420, 1421, 1422, the country is covered Xaintonge of armed men to ruin the troops.

In 1423, the Dauphin Franceayant contracted an alliance with the King of Scotland and King

of Castile to fight the British, five miles Scot Douglas arrived at St. Jean d'Angely. The city

corporation went to meet them. The Angériens stood at their posts on the walls. They offered

to allies in the name of the town, four pipes of wine, five dozen capons, twelve and six goslings

torches.

Misery became awful in that time. We ordered the watch and Reguet the

ramparts while the four doors were open to allow plowing the outskirts of the

city. Saint Jean d'Angely was continually taxed and there levied sizes

disproportionate to its resources.

In 1425 Ambroys accompanied by two other aldermen will do reverence to the

Vicomte de Rochechouart who came for the King to hit a new tax.

In 1426, Ambroys Fradin was mayor for the sixth time.

He sends in Saintes, the bishop who had just settled a gift consisting of two dozen

capons, twelve kids, two veal calves and two cranes. This singular present, which cost six

pounds and twenty two floors had to be highly appreciated in these times of scarcity, and

animals that made up were found with great difficulty.

The Grand Council of the King met in Saint Jean d'Angely in 1426. MgrDorval, Lieutenant

to the King in Guyenne, returning from Mauzé where he chaired the three states of Saintonge,

came to attend and entered at night, by torchlight. Among the entertainment offered by the mayor

and aldermen Ambroys Fradin, its famous guests included the representation of a mystery or

morality as they were called religious pieces presented in public; the chosen topic was the

beheading of the Baptist Sir Jehan. Security was so little that, throughout the holidays, lookouts

were placed on the bell tower of the abbey church to avoid surprise the enemy. They gave even six

sheets of paper at Pierre Fradin, alderman "for the paper of the watch, Reguet and storage doors".

29TheES FRadin

Some months later, MgrDorval succumbed to the hardships of war. His

funeral service was held at the expense of the municipality. The mayor and

aldermen were present, and all the brotherhoods.

The suburb of Saint Jean d'Angely was in worse shape, the small amount

of land sown with ravaged. Wheat became so rare that bakers ceased to cook. The

famine was awful. It was then qu'Ambroys Fradin, the mayor, was sublime

dedication and firmness. His person and his purse did not cease for a moment to

be in the service of his fellow citizens.

He issued an edict fixing the price of food and retail goods and an order

of changes in the value of the ECU.

On Friday, July 9, 1428, Sire Ambroys Fradin ordered Jehan Pretty go "Notre

Dame all-naked in shirt and carrying a wax candle" because of the uproar it caused in

through the city chanting: In Chastia! In Chastia! (Sic).

We could see a remarkable testament Jehan Gallerand alderman of St. John, founder of

the Chaplaincy of Our Lady Les Halles, will signed on 29 October 1429, in which we see in the

extracts below the testator was cousin Ambroys.

"Item: wish and ordered that twenty annuity land my cousin Ambroys

Fradin on the Great Marchaussier and vergier of my said house, it is paid or

assiz Bachelor of good places and appropriate, depending on the content of some

letters that passed late Jehan Prévérand. .. Item: give and let my brother Hugo

and its appurtenances, to eulx, and theirs, provided they are required to pay

audit Sire Ambroys Fradin thirty annuity soil I doibs him ... "

"Present witnesses and consenting ... Sire Ambroys Fradin

Pierre Fradin and his son."

We could find out by whom Fradin had united with Gallerand.

In the years 1430 and 1431, troops under the command of the Constable

d'Albret devastated the country. The mayor and aldermen of Saint Jean d'Angely

complained of it to the constable, when he visited the city on September 6, 1431.

But to soften the displeasure of the complaints about the spirit of the duke, he

was offered a cask of wine and his butler, two piglets to commit it to behave more

gracefully to the people he used to do, to procure the necessary provisions to table

its master.

Then there was again taxes and taxes. But despite the arbitrary measures taken

against them the Angériens still continued to shed their blood for France. Their archers

composed of volunteers arrived to great skill. They attended the headquarters of Claye

to Rocherant, Villeneuve-la-Couture, Marans and Benon. All these expeditions are

decided mézées and we find that our grandfather was very accurate Ambroys meetings,

and his son Pierre.

thirtyTheES FRADIN

In a past transaction July 2, 1432 with Father Louis Villars, Ambroys Fradin, Lord of

Besse, and Pierre Fradin, expressed lords Franche Street.

It was one of the last acts of the life of Ambroys because He died the following year

at a very advanced age and was buried in the church of Notre Dame du Puy up the city

market in Saint-Jean-d 'Angely. The Fradin there had a vault near the baptismal font.

Speaking of church, say that in the Abbey was destroyed in 1568 by the

Calvinists, there were thirteen chapels. The names of the first in the order

they are listed in the Custom 1'histoire:

1. Of Our Lady, in the northern croizée COSTÉ.

2. Sainct Jehan, the croizée Southern COSTÉ.

3. Sainct Michel.

4. Changers of.

5. Dornac of.

6. of Fradin

... etc.

Ambroys Fradin married Robine Breuil Bessé, a noble family so well known in

Saintonge and a native of the parish of Augé around Saint-Maixent.

It is likely that after this marriage which gave the Fradins allies in this town, someone of

them have been found in Saint-Maixent a branch that gave as

à Saint Jean d'Angely, mayors and aldermen whose names are so often

mentioned in the history of Mr of Vaudoré.

The Ambroys marriage made him a considerable position because his

wife brought him the lordships of Besse and Franche or Prévoté Street.

The stronghold of Besse (feodun abbatioe) included not only the Franche Street and

adjacent neighborhoods, but much of the land that extend N - O of the city from the hill to the

village of Justices Courcelles. Both lordship formed

a single fief. Manor Besse which dated XVe century still exists and is part of the

Ladies Benedictine monastery in the streets of Niort.

The Lord of the Free Street as top judge, was entitled "to hold assize of connoistre of

all crimes committed within his lordship, to establish and verify measurements for wine,

wheat, and oil and other measurable things, taking four pence on every beast that was sold

in the said street fair days of St. Luke. " These fairs were special to Franche Street. Finally

Rue Franche was a refuge, "if aulcun commiz Certain persons had excess off and said he could

travel to Icelle it can Estre and demourer Icelle frankly, like in a church." Such were the

rights carefully enumerated by the Lords of the Free Street in the confessions they make to

the Abbot of Saint-Jean d'Angely. They are also equal to those of their overlord.

Of his marriage, Ambroys had four children:

BOSSIERE, OF THE VIALLIERE, ETC. NOTE TOWARD 1366

It was first councilor of the town of Saint Jean d'Angely from 1412. We find

mention of a vow he made to these functions by the mayor before 9 April 1413. In 1417,

it is alderman, and finally he became mayor in 1434 then in 1436.

The name of this ancestor face frequently in the Cahiers as presiding at mézées

or advice. There were twenty-six during his administration.

June 22, 1417, Pierre Fradin makes confession of the fief of the Cantinolière to Villefaguan. To

the

same time, it makes counting to the Bishop of Poitiers, MgrSimon Cramau for its hosting of the

Background, "the avecq vergiers, vines and terroir du Plessis and Champaubert and avecq the

prez and Coulombier and ousche the loft affiliation with straight warren and deffense by each and

every dictated the things and all avecq aultres droictz, belonging and appandance any of that

accommodation. " He held this fief "in faith and liege homage to diz of Solz to owe, to achaptement

payable Muance Lord."

On October 10, 1425, he makes, like his father, confession of Mimault

fiefs, La Boissiere and Viallière.

He admitted the right of mining, 28 May 1432. In 1434, he was mayor. There was at

that time a large number of highway robbers. we often stopped by and brought them to Saint

Jean d'Angely, where they appeared before the mayor's court.

Here is the singular reason that made procrastinating judgment of a criminal in this

category, presented to Pierre Fradin in the afternoon of January 5, 1434: "On the confession

of Jehan Chrétien held prisoner in the prisons of Roy Sainct -Jehan d'Angely, for some

criminal cases perpetrated by his deed and by night, were of opinion that seen and watched

the trial deed was too late and therefore not presented in good shape and also that c is after

dinner and about their vespers and it seems to be doibt deed morning to young saliva either

delivered Monday morning to nine o'clock. "

On Thursday, June 13, 1434, Peter carries his father's heir, he claims the same

time artillery which are at the square tower belonging to the deceased. It was customary,

in fact, for those who could afford it, to send the ramparts in defense of the city, guns

and cannons.32TheES FRADIN

It is in the municipality of Pierre Fradin that the king authorized the assignment of a

third aid

à repairing walls falling into ruins. The English had just taken possession of

Saint Savinien, Cognac and other strongholds, and anxiety was high in Saint

Jean d'Angely.

On 13 July 1439 he makes confession to the prior of Saint-Savinien,

because of his stronghold of la Motte for his stronghold Bérauds, located in

the parish of Saint Savinien, and June 14, a tribute to the Rue Franche .

In 1440, Charles VII came in Saintonge to activate its presence

preparations for war against the English. Pierre was part of an honored company

formed by the gentlemen of the province to go to Saintes to meet the king who

then visited Saint Jean d'Angely, where city body offered him every day for his

table fish sought.

For celebrations of the coronation of the monarch in 1450, the mayor and his

aldermen gave a magnificent feast. It was represented to the public square the mystery

of the Passion, and there was the evening a banquet for church dignitaries and royal

officials. The king came to St. Jean d'Angely in 1453 during the campaign against the

English after which the French Guyenne became forever.

On April 2, 1450, the Sire Pierre Fradin, alderman of Saint Jean d'Angely, paid

homage to a stronghold called the stronghold of Fraisne, Francois Clermont, lord of

Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, which fell to the stronghold full faith and honor and duty

twenty floors. On May 3, there was a similar numbered, signed: Gaillard, notary.

In 1451, on March 31, he again made confession for fiefs Mimault,

Boissiere, the Viallière and Prez-Clos.

In 1452, he had been appointed to ensure the enforcement of an award

made on 27 April against a girl who is sentenced to be beaten and banished

from the Seneschal. On March 26, the Echevinage bought a bell that was in

charge of poiser and haggle at Campanier (campana, bell).

On November 6, it is ordered that everyone will work to clean the tower and walls for

fear of being punished by Sir Pierre Fradin. On 24 November, it is committed to examine the

privilege of letters of the guild of barbers, who have to complain about something; then the

same charge to report on leprosy and so on. We see from the above, that Peter was a man of

good counsel whose opinion had some weight. Note here that as a result no doubt of his visit

to the Chaplaincy where he had seen firsthand the lepers, he left thirty annuity soil to this

institution.

On 4 June 1452, it offers the Prior of St. Savinien to her faith and homage for the fief of

Bérauds and finally, it makes July 20, 1453, an admission of several annuities Viscount of Aulnay.

Pierre Fradin died that year, aged over eighty years. He married Jacquette

Fouchier, whom he had a son, François, following.

He was among the peers of the town of Saint Jean d'Angely. His election

is the February 23, 1456.

In 1459, he deals with the Abbot of Nanteuil en Vallée, Jehan V Prahet,

about a tribute previously served by Jehan Megnen of Messiac.

On 10 March 1466 he made confession of the fief of the Cantinolière. On

10 August the same year, it makes counting to the Bishop of Poitiers in his

lordship of the Fund. In the act, it is qualified Ecuyer.

In 1466 and 1467, François has trouble with the Lord of Taillebourg, about

the high court on the stronghold of Mimault or Champelle and the mining of

Saint Jean d'Angely. September exploits or assignments still exist among the

titles of Taillebourg County, in the possession of the Duke of Tremoille.

In the Roles of bans and bans back of the nobility of Poitou, Saintonge and

Angoumois held and convened under the reign of Louis XI, by Yvon du Fau in 1467,

January 25, 1469, He spent a transaction with the Lord of Taillebourg on the feudal lord

before it had to fiefs and land below, because "surprises and usurpations" he claimed that our

ancestor had made on its field. The things contained in the entry are: the feud and lands

Champelle, formerly Mimault the Babelot stronghold, the stronghold Pissavin, another

stronghold that was beginning to cross the Fust, all three in the parish of Sainte-Mesme; la

Brousse Chavagnes; the stronghold called Prez Clos otherwise LELARD, in the parish of Ternant;

Mining bushel of Saint Jean d'Angely to Pont-Perrin and some pieces of land and meadows, all

named and confronted by the transaction,

After a visit to the scene, a visit by the Lord of Taillebourg and his

officers, and verification of confessions François Fradin, it was proved that

everything belonged to the latter well. It shall issue, therefore, hand-lifting

of the seizure had been made too hastily.

In 1476, September 29, he bought Jean Grollereau, a laborer, a property

in the village of Villefagnan, where his little son back dispensed justice in

1601. In the act, it is called Noble Home.

In the 1479 year, it pays tribute to the stronghold of Besse, and died shortly after. On

December 15, his widow, guardian of her children, sign a power of attorney to the Lord of

Taillebourg "faith and homage to reason that she held of him moving."

34TheES FRADIN

Let's say he was married December 14, 1455, Beatrix of Aisse, Pasay

Dame-le-Chapt, from a noble family from Pons, one branch, that of

Courgoussac was maintained noble in Poitou in 1667 .

On 22 July 1480, Beatrix of Aisse, Demoiselle, widow of François Fradin, Esquire, Lord of

Bessé and other places, as having "lease, trust, government and administration" of their children,

makes counting the fief of Fraisne, François Clermont, Lord of Dompierre-sur-Boutonne. This act

is signed Chevet, notary in Saint Jean d'Angely, and passed Antoine April cleric SceI Royal Guard,

established in Saint Jean d'Angely. She also qualified Dame Paisay-le-Chapt, in an act of May 24,

1483, when his son Jehan Fradin buys on behalf of the stronghold of Mazerolles, sold by Eustache

de Montberon, Viscount of Aulnay.

The last member of the family was Aisse Gabriel Aisse, Esquire, Lord of Isle de

la Noue, who lived in Saint-Surin in 1715 and was maintained by noble Begon,

Intendant of La Rochelle. We do not know if he had posterity.

Of his marriage, François Fradin had two children:

1 JEHAN, following.

2 TheOYS FRadin, Esquire, Lord of Cantinolière, died without heirs. This is

Loys in 1529 declared noble by fabriqueurs, in the Parish of Paisay-le-

Jacques de Gilliers Lord Forges, of Villedieu, Etc., (the Marquis of Villedieu

St. George) and Mary of Feron. The marriage contract is the April 6, 1476.

BERAUDS, OF THE FOND, OF PARAY-THE-CTETA, ETC. NOTE TOWARD 1462

He exercised no public service, but we nevertheless gathered about him

a number of interesting information.March 13, 1521, Jehan Fradin, Esquire, pays homage to the stronghold of Fraisne, Jacques

de Clermont. The act was signed this lord and bearing his seal, shield crowned two keys placed in

saltire. The same day, it makes counting of the same fief. Signed P.Main.

The April 22, 1521, he makes confession to the Prior of Saint Savinien, because

of its stronghold of La Motte for his stronghold Bérauds located in the parish of Saint

Savinien.

36TheES FRADIN

On April 15, 1528, he attended the information made against Jacques de Clermont, son of

Francis, mentioned in a previous article, a man of violent and passionate who was accused of

murdering Francis Gilliers, Esquire, Lord of Villedieu, his brother.

In 1530, he paid tribute to the stronghold of Besse. On August 15, 1533, there was

transfer of Villefaguan Chapel by the inhabitants of this town Jehan Loys and his

brother.

On August 27, 1535, Jehan makes counting to the bishop of Poitiers, Cardinal de

Givry, their Lordships of the Fund and the Cantinolière. This is one act.

Nons noted above, Article IV of Pierre Fradin, héhergement the obligations of the

Lordship of the Fund and details of property of that Lordship. We are not back. Suffice it to

extract the count before us now and respecting the fanciful spelling of this document that

concerns the Lordship of Cantinolière, which was not mentioned in the first of these acts.

Jehan honors for "flashing (sic) and membership of the fief called The Cantinolière with his

perprise both Deffens and garrenne to connietz with coulombiers, vergiers, land and vineyards if

Quy belong with all droictz and affiliations." And it provided that "the heirs or assigns of Faubert

prandre told her to eat. "

On June 24 1545 he made confession of the fief of the Cantinolière. On

June 24, it makes counting the Poitiers diocese Seigneurie de La Fond.

There was again a count of the fief of the Cantinolière, June 24 1547. Let's say here

that the feud passed January 25, 1594, at home noble, Aymar Haan, Lord of the Rocks.

August 25, 1548, Jehan Fradin was admitted to the Prior of St. Sevinien

to the stronghold of Bérauds.

He married Marguerite Bouchard Aubeterre, an old and famous family

Poitou whose name passed in 1679 to Esparbès. Bouchard Aubeterre lived in the

fifteenthecentury the lordship of La Malvau in the St. Martin Parish of Sew. Jehan was

his wife's cousin, by the family of his mother. Indeed, his aunt Renee Gillers was united

in 1539, Mery Bouchard Aubeterre, Lord Montchaude.

Jehan Fradin died about 1550. His widow provides, in 1553, mayors and

aldermen of Saint Jean d'Angely the bill of rights still belong to him in the

lordship of Franche Street.

37TheES FRadin

On June 10 of that year, she made an exchange with Leon Gratian Lord Maunay,

in front Vivien Pillot notaries masters, February 23, 1557, she signed a succession of

their father sharing contract with his eldest son major and her other children. On 17

January 1560 she made confession of the fief of the Cantinolière.

From his marriage JEHAN FRadin had six children:

1 ATMBROISE-François-LAURENT, following.

2 MERY, Born around 1494, who was godfather to his uncle by

marriage Méry Bouchard Aubeterre.

3 RAENEASBorn around 1495.

4 ° ATntoine, Born about 1496, of which raises the death in 1556.

This Antoine is one of the glories of the Fradin family. Religious of the Order of

Franciscans, he was sent to the island of Rhodes, then occupied by the Knights of St. John

Jerusalem, however, unless he went there as chaplain of a dignitary of this

Hospitaller Order, a Aubeterre example. But that's just a guess, because

Franciscans in Rhodes had a mission and a church that still exists.

Still, our grandfather played a role in the defense of the "Bulwark of

Christendom" and he covered himself with glory in the famous seat 1522. Here

also a passage which speaks of it, alleging History of Pierre d'Aubusson, Grand

Master of Rhodes, published by Bouhours, in 1677.

"The big wall of COSTÉ the west fell almost whole, and made a terrible noise

when falling; the noise and shouts of joy threw themselves barbarians began again

terror in the city; but the spirits were soon rasseurez by the exhortations of Antoine

Fradin, religious of St. Francis, eloquent and apostolic man running around the

crucifix in his hand and was almost in Rhodes what John Capistran had done in

Belgrade. "

On the other hand, Eleutherius, a monk of St. Basil who was in Rhodes during this

memorable siege and who died in 1545, left a precious manuscript for the History of the

Order of St. John. This document was in the hands of dads (priest) Greek inhabitant

Trianda in Rhodes. The Rottier colonel who published a book on this remarkable island,

consulted on in 1826. We do not know what has become while we have done our best to

trace it even in Rhodes.

Here's what Eleuthère says:

"Antoine Fradin, one of the religious community of the PP Franciscans of

Rhodes, fought valiantly during the siege of 1522. Trained by boiling ardor he was

one of the first to pursue the enemies of the Christian name during retirement; we

saw jump into the sea to the waist and kill his own hand many Turks who had thrown

themselves by swimming to regain their ships. No less valiant than John Capistran

and Fra Bartolomeo of Epirus is were shown, one in Belgrade and one in Scutari, the

brother Fradin did prodigies of valor in Rhodes, and his name deserves to pass to the

posterity."

38TheES FRADIN

It is likely that Bouhours was also aware of this manuscript because just qu'Eleuthère

it compares to our glorious grandfather John Capistran also distinguished Franciscan monk

who in 1456 locked himself in Belgrade with Huniad besieged by the Turks, and helped

powerfully by his exhortations to the rescue of the city.

The Bailiff Picenardi, Grand Prior of Venice, author of the journey of a knight of St. John

of Jerusalem, also said, without mentioning the name of Antoine Fradin, the Religious

Franciscans distinguished themselves by their courage during much the seat 1522.

We could see with our eyes in Rhodes remnants of the former Franciscan

church, now a Turkish bath. The monument is inwardly quite well preserved and

we could not think without emotion contemplating these relics of the past that

our ancestors had walked the marble slabs which in some places have not been

replaced, and we -even were asking the foot.

This church was once important as many great masters were buried there.

Around 1830 the sarcophagus of one of them Robert Juliac it still saw and used tank.

The Order of St. Francis Franciscans came to Rhodes, as the magisterium of the

Grand Master, Jacques de Milly, Grand Prior of Auvergne which, by decree of June 12,

1457, gave them the church of St. Marc and Saint Bernardin, with all accessories and

income, orchards and gardens with saffron.

But back to our subject. Jehan Fradin still had a daughter:

5 ° Marguerite, Born about 1498, married Gideon du Vergier, Lord of Roche

Montroy. She conveyed by deed of 16 January 1560 "noble man, Maistre Pierre

Martin, a lawyer, two units or third partyes the troys doing any of the

Seigneurie de la Rue Franche", that have expired him. The Parliament of

Bordeaux, in a judgment of 19 August 1561, condemned Pierre Martin to

return to Marguerite Fradin all rights it had previously ceded to him, the

contract between them being canceled as "feigned and simulated". However,

this judgment did not receive performance and Pierre Martin remained

permanently owner of acquired rights, payment of a compensation of one

hundred and fifty pounds.

of the Sigougne and Boycerolles, outbuildings of chatellenie Chizé with right to cut in

the forest Argenson four branches of each oak dead wood and abatisz. This means faith

and homage and "a white sword in the price of fifteen floors."

Finally as Lord of Chasteauneuf he makes confession of this fief

February 4, 1609, tribute August 17, 1611 and admission October 31, 1614.

Jehan married PERSYDE ROF EYNIER BOURGNEUF. They are mutual

donation of property, 5 June 1618.

It was around this time that the elder branch will be established in Poitou,

first Paisay-le-Chapt, Lordship given to the family by Beatrix of Aisse, as we

have seen above. Jehan Fradin, before leaving Saint Jean d'Angely, gave his

Lordship Bessé who had, over time, lost much of its importance to the Fresnon

Vigier, Esquire, husband of Anne Cladech.

The name of Besse died in the person of Charles Bonnegens La Grange, who had

acquired April 4, 1734, to N. Lespin, feudal rights of this lordship.

What is strange is that after having defeated his stronghold of Besse, our

ancestor acquired new, with the same name, as shown in an admission that we

found in the archives of Vienna and whose here is an exerpt:

42TheES FRADIN

"Know all I Jehan Fradin, squire, Sieur de Besse, Montz, the Crouzille and

Chasteauneuf, etc., confesses to have and hold both for me and for my brother

and sister, witout men and soubzmis the King, our Lord, because Chastel and its

said place of Veruye. "

Curiously the seal that append to this parchment as well as confessions of Mazerolles of

August 28, 1595, May 13, 1608, October 8, 1614, shows a label overloaded with shield. The addition

of this piece is not explained, because there is no doubt that Jehan had been the eldest of his

siblings. The titles he takes in these confessions are also proof.

We omitted to say that Jehan Fradin was of the principal inhabitants of Civray who

assembled in 1541 and sent a deputy to Poitiers to which party the people were intending to

take against the rebels who were advancing. The massacre of the Vaudois had taken place

and this is a local riot as there was frequently since that time between Catholics and

Protestants. This detail shows us that his family was already represented in Poitou.

Jehan left two children:

1520 by Jehan Jay, Lord Boisseguin who was Governor of Poitiers in 1583. He

belonged in 1789 to the family of Choiseul.

As for the Rock Orillac, the half ruined castle was transformed into farm around 1865.

There were two towers, one of which has been demolished. That which remains, and is still

surmounted by its ear of earthenware, is pierced with a pointed door defended by a moucharabis.

marriage contract signed on July 24. (See Biblio. Soc. Of West Antiquaires)

The father of his wife, Jacques Roche-Croze, Lord of Clesmes, from an old family

Dauphine, was born in Loudun. It was King's Printer in Niort then Minister of RPR in

Civray. His name is linked to a controversy that had some impact. He published a book

of controversy against Mr. Beraudiere the later Bishop of Périgueux. This volume is

entitled: "The judge of controversies of that time, distinguished into two parts, to reply

to Francis of Beraudiere of Sigond, Abbot of Nouaillié by Jacques Roche-Croze,

Jacques Crozé was also famous in Poitou by his contradictory

conferences with the Jesuit Father Moquot and also by his writings.

It is certain, after what we have just read, that Fradin at that time

belonged to the Reformed Religion, like almost all the families living in this

region of France.

The December 28, 1584 Jacques Fradin shared with his sister over from his father.

From his two marriages he had several children:

regular adviser to Prince Henry of Bourbon, first prince of the blood. Its

provisions that are before our eyes and the copy of which is appended

documents are dated May 10, 1625.

Unfortunately we could procure no other information on this ancestor. The only

place we find yet mentioned is the death certificate of his wife, FRANÇOISE TOF AHOURDIN

VERRIERES, Who died April 9, 1681.

It was he who first of Fradin, was born and settled in Civray, this charming little town

of Poitou, we had the good fortune to visit a few months ago. Our family lived for two hundred

and some years, without the Revolution, she would probably still. We believe we will not read

without interest the following description.

Civray or Sivray in Latin Sivriacum, is a city of Poitou Charente in three leagues from

its source, ten south of the city of Poitiers on the way to Augoulême. His

castle, its church remarkable remnant of the XIIeSénéchaussée century and she was home, gave

this town of some importance. The religionists there were once in great numbers because of a

temple they had there. It was the capital of a county which she gave her name and had five

baronies Civray, Aulnay Chizé, Nielle and Usson. County Civray was a domain of the Crown. The

castle which are still visible

some ruins, dated Xecentury. It was one of the strongest and oldest of Poitou. It was demolished

in 1794 by order of the representative Ingrand people who found that "these old ruins of feudalism

attested pride of tyrants and the debasement of our fathers."

King Louis XIII received hospitality in Civray, in 1616. On the street

that bears his name, one still admires storefront, tower, mullioned windows

and beautiful arched doorway of the Hotel of the Provost where he went down.

Let us say in passing, and to close these few lines for a small town that is dear to us,

the inhabitants of Saintonge and Aunis formerly served as a proverbial saying that we have

seen, is not quite forgotten, "As

But back to our story. Jacques Fradin had, marriage, a son JACQUES, who

President to Civray Royal Headquarters, Lieutenant General and

Commissioner enquesteur examiner County and Sénéchaussée Civray. His

provisions, an extract of the time is in our hands, is the August 23, 1645.

He was one of our most distinguished ancestors. The following lines give

an idea of the important position he had held, and the enormous extent of

country which was under his jurisdiction.

The Royal Civray Headquarters was established by letters of François 1, the

prayer of Louise of Savoy, mother, Lady Civray, July 27, 1525. The office of

Seneschal, which was erected in long dress, was suppressed by Charles, in October

1561, in favor of Lieutenant General, who was a magistrate short dress.

Lieutenant-General was the deputy of the Seneschal in the court of the Presidency and

all the judicial powers of the latter. This last fact was always absent.

The land of Civray was committed, that is to say mortgaged with usufruct under Henry

II and his successors, in favor of the various following people:

1589 Sieur Chesne.

1593-1654 The family Barbezières.

1656 Marshal Turenne.

Sénéchaussée Civray depended on the Paris Parliament.

In the original seneschals or bailiffs were only simple commissioners that the

king sent into the provinces to ensure that justice was well rendered by the provosts

and provosts. Their loads were built under the third race, in securities of office and

later became hereditary.

Sénéchaussée Civray had:

− Senechal a short dress, like that of Poitiers. It almost always

resided outside his district.

− A President and Lieutenant General.

− A civil and criminal lieutenant general who was in charge of

investigating cases and that took part in the judgments, with

voting as advisor.

− Two particular lieutenants, one of whom resided in Civray,

the other in Saint-Maixent. These two were, after Lieutenant

General, the main headquarters officers.

− A police lieutenant.

− A civilian Assessor.

47TheES FRadin

− A criminal Assessor.

− Five advisers, including four former creation.

− A lawyer of the King.

− A public prosecutor.

− Finally a substitute people of King.

We see from this list that the Lieutenant General was the most important

personage County. Among his many awards, he was responsible for calling the nobility

as it appears the orders of April 29, 1695, April 19, 1697, December 9, 1700 and June 12,

1703. It was therefore necessary that he himself was of noble blood.

Other officers from headquarters, there were a few that were provided both more

agencies. Thus individuals Lieutenants were almost always simultaneously assessors.

Those counselors who had no other office usually received the qualification of magistrate

judges. It should be added that by a decree in November 1594, Henri IV had created

Sénéchaussée Civray a court-martial under the title of Vice Sénéchaussée composed of a

Deputy Seneschal and a lieutenant and also a Registrar and twelve archers.

There were more in Civray assessor and public prosecutor near the Marshalsea.

The Marshalsea was a company of horsemen created by Edict of March 1720.

Include also a Commissioner of actual foreclosures, a recipient of the consignment, a clerk,

sixteen to eighteen prosecutors, eight to ten ordinary bailiffs and a large number of royal notaries

and sergeants who resided in various parishes of the Seneschal.

The office of Lieutenant General was valued at £ 20,000, the criminal

lieutenant 10,000 for criminal assessor, First Counselor, King's lawyer and

prosecutor, he was taxed 6,000 pounds.

To pass the property after their death to their heirs offices, holders had to pay

annually the right to Paulette named Charles Paulet secretary of the King's

Chamber, who was the inventor and was established by decree of 12 in December

1604. He was in Civray to Lieutenant General 200 pounds, to the Criminal

Lieutenant 100 pounds, 37 pounds assessors Dimes, advisors 20 pounds, the lawyer

of the King 30 pounds, the Prosecutor 70 pounds.

Such were the charges of Lieutenant-General. It is understood that the

person who was running the functions occcuper was first a certain position and

enjoy a decent fortune. We only talk to memory intellectual capacity to carry

through the countless and varied business passing through the hands of

Lieutenant General.

Going back to Jacques Fradin, we find that it was a man endowed with

a certain natural eloquence. Perhaps he wanted this power of his maternal

grandfather, the famous controversialist Croze.

48TheES FRADIN

He was delegated by the city of Civray to go compliment Louis XIV on

his way to Poitiers. This is how it is told in the "Posters of Poitou" Number 2

August 1781.

"When Louis XIV spent in Poitiers in 1659 to get married, he was harangued

and the queen mother who accompanied by all bodies, not only the city, but even the

province. City Sivrai also sent deputies, and the one who was the spokesman not only

the King but to the queen mother, was Jacques Fradin, President Lieutenant

General Headquarters and the Royal Sénéchaussée Sivrai said. Le Roy on his return

in 1660, passed through Ruffec and the White House, where the same Jacques Fradin

yet had the honor to harangue the King and the two women (the queen and the queen

mother). These two speeches as well as he has done on other occasions several lords,

including the Duke of La Rochefoucauld, the Prince and Grand Huntsman Marsillac

were printed in Poitiers in time. When Jacques Fradin harangued the Court, the

White House, Mrs. Pepin Puyginon, Lady Parmesac, offered snack and refreshment

to their Majesties. Jacques Fradin was the great-grandfather of the current

Lieutenant General Sivrai. He joined to its load Lieutenant General, the President,

during its creation. "

Here we give a second extract of Posters Poitou, which speaks of the said

speeches, which were published in a volume that we have sought in vain in

both Poiton elsewhere.

The December 20, 1781 (Letter a Civray anonymous correspondent dated same

month).

"You mentioned, sir, a few speeches made Roy Louis XIV, on behalf of the

inhabitants of Sivrai. the author of the name you were taught, that you regret that

we had not put at the end of these harangues. I just found a copy of most of those he

has made. It is called Compliments of M. Fradin, President and Sivrai Lieutenant

General, printed in Paris, at Jules Jacquin, in 1664, dedicated to M. Colbert,

Intendant of Poitou, Aunis, Touraine, Anjou and Maine. They were all made by him

on behalf of and as a member of the officers of Justice and the inhabitants of the city

of Sivrai.

The first spoke to Roy on the subject of the 1652 unrest, His Majesty being in

Poitiers November 2 of that year. The second in the Queen Mother, on the same

subject on the same day. The third to the King passing in Poitiers for the fulfillment

of his marriage and peace on August 6, 1659. The fourth in the Queen Mother on the

same subject on the same day. The fifth to the Queen passing

Poitiers after peace and its accomplished marriage on July 4, 1660. The sixth, to Mr

Prince of Marcillac, Governor and Lieutenant General for the King Province

Poitou, April 14, 1644, and since the Duke of Rochefoucauld. The seventh to

MrPrince de Turenne, at the Duke of Rochefoucauld, July 3, 1660, the King's

marriage back, as he came from hunting, in the courtyard of the Dull. It was

the Engagiste Sivrai County.

49TheES FRadin

Following are three speeches made by M. Fradin at the opening of the

Palace of Sivrai one of November 1659, the second of 18 November 1661 and the

third of November 7, 1664. It appears by notice who is head of this volume, the

author has printed his speech because some particular friends had advised him

the order to distribute some people high in dignity who considered, and the other

to those who loved him tenderly. He said he followed this advice hoping that each

other will excuse the faults of this book will approve what is good, and then they

will hold the their possession without exposing his work to censorship public. He

was too modest; Compliments and his speech are very well written, and in the

real kind that suits such works. They are not long and without emphasis. This

talent has become hereditary in his family; one of his descendants who now

occupies the same place, still has to prove that he was worthy to succeed him at

all.

He recently made a very interesting compliment to Mr. Elie

Beaumont, Intendant of Finance of MgrCount of Artois in its passage in this city.

This speech won praise not only of his colleagues which he painted so well, which

was also their common, but still seemed worthy of the approval of the eloquent

and virtuous man to whom it was addressed and that we can say that suffrage

is a great price.

To in the last paragraph of our ancestor Jacques Fradin XVI, but we preferred

to leave the entire article and as it appeared in the Posters of Poitou. Suffice it to

mention it when the time comes.

We say now a few words of Jacques Fradin income at hand.

For an unexpected chance, we came across a journal written book

overnight as it were recounting the main transactions between him and the

principal payments it has made. This interesting volume was continued by

his son, his grandson, son and great grand son.

It notes from the diary among countless payments, cash receipts, accounts of his

farms and farms in the Great Condraille, the Bernière, Montaumon, Fayolle, the

Magdalene in Blanzay, Maignon, Dixmerie, Jesson, Puy Broom , in Redon, Marigné, the

Temple, the Billarde, Montazai, Roche, La Folie, Condac and Dalidan, Lanyards, the

Cyterne among Pautrée, Pouzeau; its embroideries of Thorn and Injambes. Both

properties are assumed he enjoyed significant revenue. He farmed a large part of these

lands to the Marquis de Dangeau, then Lord engagist Civray, Ruffec the Marquise, Mr.

Caumartin.

In 1656, as appears from the deed on parchment in our possession, purchase

from the Sieur de Saing, knight, Lord of Availles, and Haulmont The Cousture,

husband of Marguerite Pidouxde Nesdes and Chaillou, the sister of his wife, the field

and the noble house of Bagoire or Bagouère. This area remained in the family until

1834. Fradin Moreover we'll talk further.

50TheES FRADIN

Jacques Fradin first married, November 11, 1647, Gabrielle Pidoux of Chaillou, an old

family Poitevine, daughter of Charles Pidoux Esquire, Lord of Nesdes and Chaillou, Lieutenant

General of the Seneschal of Civray since 1599, and author a volume entitled "life of St. Radegund

former queen of France and founder of the Royal monastery of Holy Cross of Poitiers" published

in Poitiers, in Mesnier in 1621.

This is what Charles Pidoux who at his death, April 25, 1624, passed to his son

Jacques Fradin, the burden of Lieutenant General, who remained in our family until his

removal in 1790, that is to say for one hundred sixty-six years. Gabrielle Pidoux who

tested in his favor, February 28, 1648, Jacques had two children.

Funny detail: once in Civray, at the birth of the eldest son of a Lieutenant General, the

militia of the city took up arms and with joy fired the gun.

In 1652, Jacques Fradin remarried with Demoiselle MARIE-ATTHE GNES SGO-BRUSLAIN.

Both are mentioned in the "Feudal Names" page 435, as required in the kiss and liege homage for

the fief and the farm of the Hall-Bruslain, ie to do homage to the King for this feud. It is worth

noting that no one could hold a king's stronghold, had he not been of good and ancient nobility.

The Archives of Poitiers, register of the Chamber of Accounts, still cite this act of faith. The La

Salle-Bruslain bore: Azure Silver Lion.

His second wife died March 6, 1657 in giving birth to her third child.

He was educated at Poitiers in M. Girard and took charge of Lieutenant General

from the hands of his father. He held her with honor in difficult times. Catholics and

Huguenots were in continual war and conflicts were frequent in Civray, who was in

Poitou, one of the main centers of the Reformed Religion.

Charles himself was a Protestant, but he "abjured heresy" September 20, 1676, in the

hands of Father Barnabas Loches and in the presence of Brother Angel of Poitiers.

As Lieutenant General, he strictly held hands with the execution of orders of King in the

revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Here are two anecdotes which speaks of him, and that will give

an idea of the intolerance of the time in religion.

In 1696, a sealing of the home of Jacques de la Lande, Lord Lesmerière who have indicated

that the deceased had in his library several Protestant books, Lieutenant General Charles Fradin,

was transported to the scene, ordered that the books were deposited with the Registrar and the

heirs were sentenced to expenses incurred had the transaction, since the deceased Sieur de la

Lande, had resulted in the descent, for violation of the King's orders, keeping forbidden books.

Three years later, in 1699, Charles Fradin going to a Sunday sermon saw a man come to

the cabaret. He immediately entered the establishment and found a room in an archer, a notary,

and a third individual, who converts them to a pint of wine and three glasses. Drinkers and the

innkeeper apologized badly. As the minutes have been drawn up, innkeeper and drinkers were

condemned "for violating orders, giving his cabaret after the sermon sounded estoit instead of

going there, each fined three pounds twelve floors, applicable to religious Capuchin Civray ".

With time so we went to the church by order of the King!

In the course of that year, 1699, Charles made an order for the

implementation of regulations relating to the instruction to give children

pretended reformed and new converts.

He resigned his duties and title of Lieutenant General in favor of his eldest

son when the latter married in 1711 and was appointed Honorary Lieutenant

General. As for the office of President, he kept them until his death, and they

passed to his son, Jean-Baptiste Cacault of Cotterie.

It was Charles, Lord of Chatain, who acquired the important stronghold of

Belabre, "assiz to within the city of Civray" said the confession 1470 which we have

a copy in 1560. It took the name from which was preserved by the elder branch of

Fradin. About the name, deviating us when our subject.

52TheES FRADIN

Belabre was in the original Bella Arbore name that has been brought to very ancient

times.

In XIIIecentury a Rudulphus Bella Arbore Valetus was the Count of Poitou ten francs for his lands

in the lordship of Saint-Savin. Hugo Belarbre, man of arms, husband of Lady of Ripoire was liege

Count of Poitou in 1253. Stone was Belarbre Envelope Sealers guard in Civray in 1410. Ithier

Belabre is called the ban of 1467. A Belabre, Esquire, Lord Guidiers is noble declared in 1530,

when the survey in Poitou where

gentlemen offered with a tenth of their fiefs for ransom François 1st. François Belabre his son

Lord Guidiers, wife, November 5, 1588, Renée Chasteignier of Oak. His grand-made, Hector

Belabre wife in 1613, Jeanne Chaillot.

It's probably the latter who gave his stronghold of Belabre our grandfather. This feud was

held

à liege homage of a mesh, to Ythier Jousserant, Esquire, Lord of LAYRE. It consisted of a

noble house located in Civray, a domain, several orchards, lands, vineyards, woods whose

position is thoroughly described in the confession which we have spoken above.

In the current cadastral map of Civray, some of these properties are even

mentioned. There are wood Belabreles Large parts Belabre.

This name is not common in France. It is focused, as we know, by three

families:

1 that of the Coigneux originating in the city of Paris, including the famous

ECuyerSOF ord Blanzai, AND OF BELARBRE, BORN IN 1681 DEATH CIVRAY,

THE 31 DECEMBER 1748.

We did not find the place of his birth. It is likely that he was born in one of the

many properties that her family owned in Poitou.

He succeeded his father as King's Advisor, President and Lieutenant General

Enquesteur Commissioner Examiner old and new creation in the County and the

Seneschal of Civray. Its provisions, dated June 8, 1715, say it happens to be the sixth

father and son successively provided with the same Office. It would be more accurate to

say the sixth by his paternal and maternal ancestors. Indeed, three of Pidoux Chailloux

or Verdornnière had occupied the same charge.

Jacques was a valued very official, and as a man, he enjoyed, it seems,

to the general account.

Here's an amusing incident of his administration, we noted among

others that it would be interesting to recall here.

It does not always existed a very cordial agreement between the Capuchins of

Civray and the pastor of the parish. In 1727, the Prior of the church of St. Nicolas

which was to say a little Mass every Sunday and feast days, charged the Capuchins

of this care. But the priest did take home the ornaments, leaving the officiating a

white chasuble old hawker whose stuff was very dirty, and that was refused as not

being decent and consistent with guns.

The following Sunday, a similar scene took place in the great scandal of the people

assembled to hear mass. Jacques Fradin in his capacity as Lieutenant General intervened. He

examined the clothes because of the quarrel and to cut short any discussion, ordered that the

chasuble should bear in fabriqueurs to have it cleaned and mended.

He obtained, in 1741, Letters of Honor "in recognition of his long service,

distinctions that his family has always deserved and long experience and ability

he has acquired in the administration of justice, Etc. ".

godfather at his baptism Dom Jean-Charles Fradin religious uncle of the

Order of St. Benedict, Prior Champdolent.

He paid tribute during his lifetime for the fief of Troussart, Juillé parish.

In 1743, as he had neglected this step, the public prosecutor in Melle, the

castle which depended this fief, made him enter feudal. On December 2,

he petitioned for that lift the seizure, giving the excuse indisposition duly

justified by a certificate of Sir Robert, apothecary in Civray. We do not

know if he got this lifted.

distinguished service in the charge Adviser Lieutenant General he filled functions for more

than thirty years with as much zeal as integrity and talent, like his six ancestors who had

exercised before him with distinction and those he continues to visit the Counselor of load

These lines contained in its letters of appointment are as seen praise of

his life was blameless.

At his death in 1782, he also held since twelve years the functions of sub-

delegation to the Generalitat de Poitiers. His act of burial door he was endowed with

all the qualities that characterize the honest man and the distinguished magistrate.

Judging by his writing that we see in the small newspaper, started by his great-

grandfather, he was also a man of order. The details of his income is carefully registered.

There is forty-one articles about farms, embroideries, fields, lands, meadows, vineyards, mills

and houses. All this represents a nice income.

Out of curiosity, we will give the list of properties whose greatest number still

Lieutenant General Civil Enquesteur and Commissioner of old and new creation County

Examiner and the Seneschal of Civray. Then Attorney Trustee of Civray District in 1790,

Magistrate in Haiti and finally Adviser to the Court of Cassation in Paris.

He held the position of Chief Lieutenant until removed. These provisions date

of 9 December 1772. Here's what the poster said Poitou

No. 1 April 1, 1773, on the appointment: "The Seneschal is extensive. It consists of four

royal provosts: Aunay Chizé, Melle and Usson, a marquis, two baronies, four castellanies

thirty eight manorial courts and one hundred and thirty parishes. We note in this office is a

possibly unique. The charge is filled by Lieutenant General M. Fradin, the eighth son of his

father's name in the same load. This family has rightly respect and the esteem of his fellow

citizens throughout the spring. M. Fradin Belabre father of the present owner and his

immediate predecessor passed this burden to the Office of Counsel to the Supreme Council of

Poitou. It was not least that Mr. her son to console us for the loss. "

Some of the information we have collected on his administration included that

"July 23, 1776, Jacques Fradin, Lieutenant General, give a dinner for thirty to install

the Seneschal of Civray, Pierre Alexandre Gilbert of Verona, Knight, Count of

Lohéac, Baron d'Auge, Lord Punch and other places, Knight of St. Louis, Governor

of Parthenay ".

The post of Seneschal had not been filled for a long time and all initiative was left to

Lieutenant General for the Administration of the Seneschal.

We have many recipes for this ancestor. Can be found in the appendix at

the end of this book.

In doing research at the National Library in Paris, we found in Cherin, two

letters of Jacques Jean-Marie, in which he claims his titles and family papers.

Here is the first letter:

Civray, January 10, 1786.

"The intention where I was, sir, to enable me to make joining a

son that I have not forced me to put in the hands of the late M. Chérin,

the genealogist Roy, your predecessor, the titles of my family to do the

checking.

59TheES FRadin

The filing was made March 5, 1784 and as the parts become absolutely

necessary to me today, I beseech you, sir, to make it do the research to make me

go to the field because you do me granted fortnight to make the representation

in a case that only they can decide in my favor. I ask you by special grace, sir, to

take a moment to such a central object for me and make me pass the object of my

application through the mail under the address of Mr Bouin Master Computer

in Chaunay, way to Bordeaux, Haut-Poitou. If it costs a few disbursed, Mr. to

transport this item deign to instruct me and my accuracy for you to put equal the

recognition and respectful devotion with which I have the honor to be, Sir,

Sign: Fradin Belabre, Lieutenant General of the Seneschal of

Syvray (sic) by Chaunay, Route de Bordeaux, Haut-Poitou.

If you believe, Sir, that my songs can reach me under the seal

of against Marshal, I beg you prefer that route would be more

expeditious. "

We remained puzzled to read that letter. What was it son? In 1786, there

were three, all alive. The only one he had lost yet died February 3, 1784, at

the age of three days!

In the second letter we give an extract. She wears like inscription:

"A Mr. officiale (sic), Member of the Assembly, Rue du retted, at

Mr. Fargeon perfumer."

Alongside is the note: "Written October 5, 1790".

"......... If my title acquisition could be useful, you can find it at

Office M. Chérin, formerly genealogist, where I had deposited with many other titles

......... and if you think proper to withdraw from that moment I give you the plenary

power, which you can use at your will. "

At the bottom of this letter, and in another hand, we read:

"In consideration of the above letter, I withdrew from Mr. Cherin, securities

belonging to M. Fradin. Paris, 29 October 1790. Signed: Lavoisier. "

So three years apart, he claims his family titles. Did he ever received? We doubt

it, for we know that few titles on Fradin, fifteen at the most, and yet they are of lesser

importance.

On 4 March 1789, Jacques-Jean-Marie, Lieutenant General is appointed Deputy of the

inhabitants of Civray with Jean-Guy Fradin of Linières and François-Augustine Fradin, bachelor-

laws, to represent them in operations with a view to meeting States General.

In 1790, the charge of Lieutenant General is removed. Our grandfather was thus the last

of these judges. But he retains his title of lawyer and became for a time

60TheES FRADIN

Attorney Trustee or Mayor as appears from a memory-state, which is before our eyes and

that he had written to settle a dispute that had arisen between René Imbert Hermitage, its

parent, and he , on land in the area Baguerre (sic).

Bagoire, to use the modern spelling is a hamlet where Fradin owned for over two

hundred years. once there existed a beautiful stately home which there remains at present

some remains. One can still see a beautiful mullioned window on the old facade broken by

modern buildings, a smaller window behind the house and the ground floor and the first,

beautiful and vast fireplaces moldings Blanzais stone, topped by a crest unfortunately

scratched. Above an inner door is a coat of arms.

Bagoire is located in the parish of St. Clementine, today suburb of Civray.

The church of this parish dates from the end of the XIIecentury. It depended on the

former Chaplain of St. Kitts. The architecture is not remarkable. There is in the building

that was to serve as sacristy, pretty lancet windows with rosettes, well preserved. But

that's for another reason this church deserves a mention in our history. A Fradin of the

younger branch, Rene, son of François, Lord of Vigerie, was pastor of St. Clementine from

1744 to 1764 and was buried in his church, 22 March 1766. Some of the elder branch

Fradins there would also have their burial.

The church became the private property Revolution was converted into

fodder barn. We have found no trace of tombstones.

Alarmed by the excesses of the Revolution, Jacques Fradin decided to leave his

hometown and took refuge in Haiti, Port au Prince, where he was first Public Prosecutor and

Judge at the Court. He acquired during his stay in the colony sizeable properties.

In 1825, France recognized the independence of Haiti, which was in turn paid to former

settlers compensation of three hundred million. In 1838, the allowance was reduced to ninety

million. Our grandfather still touched his hand to the Second Empire.

Many families of Poitou had also emigrated to the West Indies including that

of the Lelong Croizardière we find a girl in the next chapter. There was also out

there, but as a naval officer in the service of the Republic a Fradin (Jean-Baptiste-

Alexis), we were unable to find the degree of relationship, which in turn commanded

the Revolution vessels Rights man, Thames and Ambush and who after heroic battles

and a busy career, retired to La Rochelle, where he died in 1834 against admiral.

Maybe that Fradin had he influenced the choice of the West Indies as a place

of exile of the family. It was a spirit of adventure to go at that time when travel was

otherwise difficult than today to build thousands of miles from his homeland a new

family. Especially when you could so easily migrate to neighboring countries. It is

true that Haiti was French soil.

When the First Empire was firmly established Jacques decided to return to France. But the

ship that carried the was captured by the English with whom we were at war. The prisoners made

passengers were taken to Plymouth and imprisoned on pontoons. Her

robust constitution gave support to our grandfather for over a year a horrible captivity, and

finally returned to Civray there could collect with difficulty a very diminished fortune.

Part of his property, including the location of the castle he was in great

part owner, was sold as national property.

The living room of his home town, where he had held the top spot, it

became too painful in these conditions and he lived some time in Paris, where

he was appointed Advisor to the Supreme Court. Then, after the death of his

wife, he returned to live near Civray with her daughter, Julie-Aimée, his old

domain Bagoire, where a modern pavilion, simple, was then built.

This is where he died in 1825. An old inhabitant of Civray, which is also a

distant relative, Mr Imbert Hermitage, told us remember perfectly funeral of

Jacques Fradin Belabre and testimonials respect the mortal remains of this

magistrate gathered in its path.

He married on 27 Novembe 1777 JEANNE-MARIE-Louise-ATOF LBERT BELLEVUEBorn

December 16, 1756, died February 20, 1815. She was the daughter of Jean-François

Claude Albert, Lord of Bellevue, King's Advisor Sénéchaussée Civray since 1774, and

Marie-Anne-Christine Rivaud of Raffinière.

Jean-François Albert had previously been a lawyer for 42 years in Civray Royal

Headquarters. His act of inhnumation, dated April 11, 1778, states that he was a man of rare

merit, recognized as one of the first lights of the country. His father practiced the Adviser to

for 55 years and died November 5, 1750, at the age of 77 years. His wife died the same day,

after 56 years of marriage. Death does not separate them, and touching detail, they were

deposited in the same tomb. Bellevue, the stronghold of Albert still exists. Unfortunately

abandoned mansion collapses.

Of his marriage, Jacques Fradin had seven children:

1 JULIE-ATIMEE-EMERENTIENNEBorn June 30, 1778, died at Bagoire,

September 1, 1834. His uncle, the Chevalier Rigobert Belabre King's

the youth of Civray. We went into strips spend the day with good

We saw in the previous article, how his father had returned to France after his

captivity. It was in 1807, at the time of the Continental Blockade. To ensure the effects,

Napoleon sought active agents, intelligent and energetic. Charles Marie Paulin was

summer in Blanzay-sur-Boutonne, the property that had brought his wife. It was a

beautiful flourishing area at the time when we have known, and which originally was to

be a commander of the Order of Malta, because we find the cross of the Knights over a

door buildings servitude. On the facade of the old part of the house, next to the garden,

one could see the coat of arms Lelong.

Depending on the farm Blanzay was Grand'Maisons, built in the meadows on the banks of

the smiling Boutonne among gigantic poplars and willows evergreen. In the last century this farm

could pass for a bourgeois house. It was there that our

He was a Knight of the Legion of Honor, a distinction that his time is

hardly obtained.

He had acquired the castle Grimaudière near La Rochelle, famous for the seat that

Protestants supported it against Richelieu's army, which took them. As for the defenders,

they escaped under cover of smoke from a huge pile of wet straw to which they set fire. The

former stately Grimaudière Levasseur belonged during his time in the Fradin family, the

Earl of Noah, father of the famous cartoonist Chain, who was born there. This curious castle

that has fresh air with its four towers, two twin pepperpot, its postern machicolated, deep

moat and fish, returned to Charles Paulin, the fourth son.

In 1838 and March 3, Charles-Marie-Paulin signed the beneficiary

acceptance of the estate of her aunt, Marie-Bénigne Constance Verrier of

Boulzat, died at the venerable age of 94.

We just had our grandfather. Nevertheless we retain vivid memories of a fine old

man, very thin profile, Figure razed, always soberly and elegantly dressed. He still had

the tone of the old French nobility, distinguished manners a bit haughty and he kept his

love of splendor of bygone days. Until the end of his life, that is to say, until the age of

eighty-nine, he had been very right, very active and he enjoyed all his faculties.

It was a music lover himself good performer. He told that Glückstadt where he had

been an official of Customs, he had exchanged a signed Stradivarius violin against a

drawn carriage and twenty napoleons. On his return to France, this violin was lost in

Belgium, in the barn of a relay station, where he was found several years later, in poor

condition. This excellent instrument in the hands of Charles, his younger son, himself

an amateur composer distinguished artist.

He married in Blanzay-sur-Boutonne, September 14, 1814, Louise-ATNNE TheTHE ELONG

CROIZARDIEREborn in 1792, died at St. Jean d'Angely on January 10, 1876. She was the

daughter of Jean-Philippe Olivier Lelong of Croizardière, Advisor to the King in Civray and

Margaret Magdalen Julie Fromy, a former family Ardennes. We know of no descendants of

Lelong; as to Fromy they are still represented in Saint Jean d'Angely, by Frédéric Fromy and

Mrs. Amelie Rogée-Fromy.

Our grandmother who passed his youth for a very pretty woman had been in Bordeaux

shortly after the assassination of the Duc de Berry by Louvel very good relations with the Duchess

who had been charmed with its beauty, freshness and his good grace. So when she gave birth to

Henry V, the Pretender to the crown of France, she begged our grandmother who was nursing a

few days his son Henry, to be the nanny of the young prince. This proposal flattering as it was not

agreed to our grandfather, who refused.

When the Duchess of Berry left Blaye where she stayed long enough at Fort Paté

prisoner in the custody of Bugeaud and St. Arnaud, following his scuffle Vendee, she left our

grandmother several interesting objects that are carefully preserved by his son, Charles, to

whom she bequeathed them.

ECuyerSOrd OF VIGERIE, TO DO 1648 DIED 1 JUIN 1715. CONSEILLER OF

ROIMAREA POF ERPETUEL COF IVRAY 1690 AT 1710.

Following the example of other cities of Poitou, the election of the Mayor of

Civray was done annually. In the 1695 year, an edict of King Louis XIV, made these

perpetual functions. Pierre Fradin, who was then mayor, was the first to take

advantage of the new provisions of this edict, and remained in charge until his death.

We relaterons here some incidents of his administrative career, that we

found in the Archives of the Seneschal.

The confusion that reigned in the functions of some officials, anxious to

maintain their rights, sometimes occasioned them singular conflict. Here are

two examples.

67TheES FRadin

November 27, 1695 informed that six companies were dragons house in Civray, King of the

Prosecutor in the absence of the mayor, tried to make the billets, as a right of his office. But the

tickets were at the home of the mayor where the trustees were busy writing, that their official

reporting he did not intend us to do the tickets elsewhere than in his home as "the house Easting

and city hostel ". On the orders of the public prosecutor the tickets were claimed but "Maiden

woman said Sieur mayor would not let them bring heard that such tickets fissent in his house."

Then the public prosecutor drew minutes because he considered a disorder brought

to the functions of his office, his predecessors have always been entitled to attend the

housing of the soldiers and soldiers who stay in this city.

The following year, the same difficulty. On March 5, 1696, the mayor gave the order to ring

the bell of the assemblies of the city. Lieutenant General in the Seneschal, having had notice went

in person to the St. Nicolas church, where according to the minutes "would have occurred Estant

said Sieur of Vigeraye, with a sword in her part that we would have asked if we oppose the bell

was sounded for a meeting, which we would have answered that, since the police estoit attached

to our office of Lieutenant General, and we and our predecessors have always jouy and the Roy by

his Edict of creation involving mayors, we do privoit any police function, if not housing the men of

war, assemblies deniers of octroy and joy of the late, and that in a time of trouble and war, we

estions to ask why and what orders he had to ring the bell, and that if anything happened that

was against the Estat and the audience we were responsible, offering after he would have told us

the subjet to consent, if practicable was that the bell was sounded to him meeting that we do not

question him Estant one of the police chiefs. To which he would have answered us that it wished

to say anything, and he did not realize was to the officers of the headquarters of what he was

doing; he would do cognoistre in the assembly. And having summoned to abundant to tell us the

reasons if the orders he had estoient sealed or not, he would not have wanted anything we say

that refusal would have us assume that there was going or the interest of Roy or the public,

Lieutenant General at that time was Charles, Lord of Chestnut and

Belabrecousin Mayor.

We like to believe they did not continue in the privacy these officials

quarrels jealous of their authority.

Things were far sometimes. It took a judgment of the Court of Parliament to fix the place

that occupied the mayors days Te Deum and other ceremonies in the church of Saint-Nicolas.

They attributed their bench and the high seat of the choir, right, against the judicature officers

Sénéchaussée and were forbidden to trustees and communities prosecutors disturb the enjoyment

of the bench and honors precedence.

Pierre Fradin died as we saw in 1710. His death certificate gives him the

title of Captain and First Mayor of Civray, from which we conclude that he

was also captain of the militia of the city. He was buried at the altar of the

Blessed Virgin, in the Saint-Nicolas Church.

Offspring BRANCH ELDEST.

The following article from a leading newspaper Limousin "the Daily

center" will tell us what this good man removed the affection of his family

after a few days of illness.

"It's high forehead, and with the satisfaction of accomplishment to the end,

without weakness or failure, what could stand before God and supreme judge in all,

Charles-Marie Fradin Belabre, officer Legion of Honor, Lieutenant retired colonel of

cavalry, chairman of the Conference of St. Vincent de Paul Church St. Stephen,

piously asleep in peace

Lord this Sept. 24, in the 7Oeyear of his age. True to the proud and worthy motto of

his ancestors nec cupias nec metuas, he lived without fear and low desires and into

the torments of his agony, his people could appreciate his dominant qualities:

kindness, courage and piety .

He came from an old family Saintongeoise where for centuries to transmit

intact the same traditions of honor and loyalty. He was home the last born. Two

careers, equally noble and beautiful also, do one and the other of renunciation and

sacrifice are therefore presented to him, he would become a priest or soldier would.

After Poitiers very strong and very brilliant student he was by his young and ardent

imagination attracted to the profession of arms. He joined a regiment of dragoons in

Toul. There he was soon to be appreciated at its true value, ie very high. Gifted with

admirable equestrian qualities, it was shortly after his arrival to the body sent to

Saumur riding as sub-squire and never emerged to enter the School of Staff with the

same

79TheES FRadin

functions. Second Lieutenant in 1859 to 2e lancers, happening in 1862 Lieutenant

choice and being out with the No. 1 Saumur, where he had his course of intruction

officer he was forced to wait for two years for lieutenant

spend captain. It was then poured instructor captain 3e hunters

à Setif. But he was soon reminded by Saumur. There was returning after

eight months of stay in Algeria; Instructor captain he passed, a year later,

Captain Squire and it is as such that He was sent to the General Staff School.

Then came for France the days of mourning and grief. During the

terrible Franco-Prussian War, Captain Belabre was orderly officer of General

Malleroy. It is enclosed in Paris invested. During the desperate attempt that

outputs the besieged, he fights like a lion, his horse was killed under him.

After the horrors of the siege it undergoes the infamies of the Commune. His

bravery and dedication finally get him the ultimate accolade. The star of the

brave shining on his chest.

And then come the days of calm. In 1875 he spent squadron commander and

Finally in 1885 he was appointed lieutenant colonel to 20eDragons regiment

garrisoned in our city. There, in 1885, he was made an Officer of the Legion

of Honor, and in 1889 in the fullness of his physical and moral force, he

retired the heart sorry to leave this army that had loved so much and where

he left an unassailable reputation for science, chivalry, elegance and good

taste.

He continued to live in Limoges and the huge crowd that accompanied

yesterday endeuillie to his final resting crowds composed of elements taken from all

classes of society; proves how he had known at home to be appreciated and loved. I

do not think, in fact, it is possible to meet in a more qualities that we discovered in

her soul gentleman and artist. Equipped of all the gifts of the spirit, he also had all

the gifts of the heart. Excellent musician he performed on his violin things written

by him, exquisite freshness and charm. talented painter he leaves adorable

compositions, bright flowers fresh, amazing truth landscapes, portraits glaring

resemblance. Linguist eminent he read Shakespeare and Goete in the text and most

recently translated us commenting on a sonnet from Petrarch to Laura. But a

misfortune it was reported! Hurriedly he drew from his favorite occupations. Leaving

violin or brush, leaving the masterpiece of the German author, Italian or English,

insensitive to the sweetness of his blessed home, soon he would bring to those who

suffer material and moral comfort they needed. President of the Conference of St.

Vincent de Paul Cathedral, it was a cautionary zeal with her charitable visits.

Nothing discouraged him; nor the number of steps to climb or unhealthy odors from

the attic to visit, or even insults unfortunate astray. Calm and dignified, he went

everywhere with his smiling good nature and his paternal benevolence. What tears

he has sealed! That smiles has he done bloom again on clenched lips with despair!

What courage he has put together! Hungers that he has calmed!

80TheES FRADIN

And now that he is gone, now that on his final resting weapons were mixed

with drops of holy water, as that was the worthy companion so loving in all his

life, his son that resemble their father found solace in the unanimous regrets

inspired all who knew accreditation of its business, the loss of one they mourn.

And that for us Christians, the idea comforting to see him in the heavenly

homeland, makes us ardently follow the examples we gave that dead loved and

respected, whose entire existence can be summarized in these words: He made

the well, "Transit faciendo bene."

This beautiful eulogy which we sincerely thank the author, MrPierre Sormin, is no

exaggeration. We note however there two small mistakes.

The motto of the Fradin family Belabre is "A nice beautiful fruit tree," not "ne ne

cupias metuas" which is that of Yorke, English family mentioned below.

As for the horse that rode Captain Belabre during the Franco-Prussian

War he was only seriously injured.

It was a beautiful Irish black dress, beautifully prepared and who twice saved the life of his

rider. A first time to the case of Malmaison captain Belabre, aide, charged with a dangerous

mission was to be surrounded by a bunch of Uhlans, when the brave butterfly removed with a

steady hand crosses a huge gap net off the stunned Germans. Our officer then fled amid a hail of

bullets which fortunately did not reach. A second time, after the siege of Paris at the time were

about the terrible events of the Commune we ordered the captain Belabre to see what was

happening at the Place de la Bastille where fanatics preach disorder and the fire. Sometimes,

mounted on his trusty Butterfly, amid rallies that had formed around the July Column. His black

uniform of little-known training officer at the time, draws attention to him. Is mistaken for a

German. Shouts are heard: death Prussian! Within moments, he was surrounded and blind crowd

would undoubtedly cut to pieces if he had been able to run his horse terrible bows that push her

attackers. Those who want to throw in the animal's head are reversed. In a few bounds he passes

over their bodies and fled at full gallop. It had rained in the morning and if, as happens so often

in Paris, the horse had missed four feet on the greasy pavement, it was all the captain Belabre.

Never in ordinary times he had dared to ask such a performance in his mount,

After the war, this beautiful animal took a few years as a horse arms, then sold to

a cousin of his master, he found the campaign a well earned rest. Petted and caressed by

all, he did not know the miserable existence of the reform horse and died peacefully of

old age just a few short years.

Another newspaper said the following about the death of Charles Fradin of

Belabre:

"An existence of any charity of piety and patriotism just died.

81TheES FRadin

Colonel Belabre, Officer of the Legion of Honreur, President of the

Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Saint Etienne, died yesterday in

his 70e year.

All Limoges knew if the friendly face of the valiant

officer who belonged to the long 20e Dragoons where his memory is

respectfully preserved.

But those who best knew Colonel Belabre it was the unhappy, the poor,

whom he lavished continually and with absolute discretion, comfort and

relief. It is to the poor that the valiant soldier, having nobly served his

country, devoted himself body and soul.

The death of Mr. Belabre will be keenly felt in Limoges where

he had friends and forced.

We hope that a pen authorized want to get to the memory of the great

Christian who has just disappeared public homage due him.

The family, so cruelly tried, deign to accept the very lively

expression of our respectful condolences. "

"The Cross" and several other newspapers of Paris and the provinces also

mentioned the death of Colonel Belabre "entirely devoted to the works Catholic

limos and also the work of the Secretariat of the people."

We read the other about the funeral that many parents and friends had

wished to assert their presence that instead stood in their heart the brave soldier

and a good man that was Colonel Belabre.

All bodies of the garrison of Limoges were represented. The colonels of all the

regiments, the senior and junior officers followed the procession.

Col. 20eDragons had sent a squadron on foot to get the honors. The trumpets sounded

the march with the flag of their veiled crepe instrument.

The spectacle of these beautiful funeral was very impressive.

Delicate attention fifty orphans of St. Vincent de Paul, led by nuns,

preceded the body of their benefactor.

Nons adding little lines above and where the existence of Charles Fradin

Paulin is eloquently traced.

We will only say that he was a bachelor-of Letters, he knew in English and German

background he read Italian and had some knowledge of Russian. It leaves some manuscripts,

among others a course of Hippology in two volumes, copiously illustrated.

NOTOTE

This book would not be complete without a mention of several other families

bearing the surname of Fradin and who possessed noble fiefs.

There first Fradins Saint-Maixent that made admission to the stronghold of

the knighthood. They are often cited in the Journal Le Riche and in the history of

Saint-Maixent by Mr. de la Fontenelle Vaudoré. They gave the city of Mayors and

many of Aldermen. We find these alliances Fradins with La Rochelle. We therefore

assume that some of them founded families in La Rochelle where several Fradins

occupied functions at the Admiralty.

There was again in Saint-Maixent of Fradins of Chesneroy and Fradins

of Puybourassier.

In the Archives of the Referral there are also Fradins of Chivalry and

also the Goubaudière.

In Saint Jean d'Angely, there were in the early eighteenthe century Fradins of Rouillerie.

A Marie Fradin Boissiere wife of Pons in 1782 Louis Charles Mossion of

Gontrie, cavalry captain, guard of King's body.

A Fradin of Tastet, infantry lieutenant born in Saint-Martin-d'Archiac

made the American campaigns. The May 28, 1790, the Marquis de Goulet, his

colonel, asked leave to him.

There was a Civray Fradin family or Linières. A descendant of this

family is even higher infantry officer16

"M NewsprinteJacques Fradin cr. and Lieutenant General in Civray for

the year 1670 for its private affairse which are in two grans books in his office as

celuicy which is attached to the Petit journal before. "

"Deo Optimo Maximo."

"Fradin cr. Near. & Lieut. gen. Civray. "

This journal was continued by Charles Fradin XIII, XIV and Jacques Fradin Charles

Fradin XV. Also their writing we see it, that of Marguerite Luce, daughter of Charles Fradin

XIII.

Some entries are curious. These example:

"Donnoye has my wife on the end of 1697 Iullet three pounds of new gold."

"Catos Issy came ten days after the St. Michael of the year

seventeen hundred and six to reason trante pounds per year, ie have

given him a pair of chamber mulle, and a pair of soullies for two years."

The existence would be less expensive at that time. In 1763, a turkey cost, again

according to the journal a book telling soils; a whole pig salted and prepared 22 pounds 17

floors; twenty-six bottles of wine 2 pounds 17 floors, two floors the bottle!

But what is more interesting in the register is the detailed list of the hand

of Charles Fradin XV forty-five "ground rent".

A house FRadin is an old family Saintonge, transplanted

Poitou; parentage followed back to the beginning of the XVecentury. It owes

its nobility to municipal offices filled by its first author

à Saint Jean d'Angely, by applying an edict of King Philip Augustus, in the

year 1206, renewed by an edict of Charles VI of the 1393 year, who granted this

favor to the mayors of that city and their male offspring, in

consideration of fidelity and attachment that the city had shown the kings of

France, during the wars with the English. The genealogy begins:

I. ATMBROISE FRadin, Lord of Besse and lord fairs Herpes (as of November 7

1409), mayor of Saint-Jean d'Angely, from 1405 to 1426. He had a son:

2 Laurent Fradin.
