Of the Family of Tremoille I. The late Prince of Tarente Charle-Henry de la Tremoille Duke of Thoüars Peer of France Knight of the Order of the Garter bore Arms in Holland and was General of the Cavalry of the States of the United Provinces and Governour of Bois le
the second Baron of Montmorency The Constable had right to take a days pay as his Fee of all Military Persons entred into the Kings pay at the first payment they received and of the Horse and Foot that were under the Command of the Master or Clerk of the Cross-Bow-men and in general of all those that were paid by the Treasurers of the Wars except only the Princes of the Blood and their Domesticks that served in the War at their own Expences and the Officers and Souldiers at Sea It was Treason to offend the Constable as it was Judged in the Case of Peter de Craôn who had attempted upon the Life of Oliver de Clisson High Constable The Jurisdiction or Court held at the Marble Table is called the Constablerie and Marshalsey and though the Office of Constable was supprest by a Declaration of the last King in 1627. after the Death of the then Duke de Lesdiguieres the last Constable yet so much of his Jurisdiction and Power as was exercised at the Marble Table remains still in the hands of the Marshals of France that were formerly but his Lieutenants The number of Constables is differently related by the Annalists who as little agree in the Order of their Succession There is still always in the Armies a Provost of the Constablery that gives out Passports and has jurisdiction and power to take cognisance of all Disorders of Men of War and to decide all differences arising among them as likewise over all Traytors and Deserters of the Army He also sets the price of Victuals and enjoys many other Priviledges By an Order of the 13th of March 1627. and another of the 23d of April in 1643. The late King supprest the Offices of High Constable and Colonel-General of the Infantry of France with a Provision for the future that they should never be renewed again upon what pretence soever and the suppression of that of Colonel-General of the Infantry was again confirmed the 23d of July 1661. The first or eldest Marshal of France Officiates the duty of Constable and may as such bear on one side of his Coat of Arms a naked Sword and the Commanders Staff on the other as Marshal The other Prerogatives belonging to this Office may be seen in the relation of M. du Tillet Before we conclude this Chapter it will not be impertinent the following Article of the Priviledges of this High Office found in the Registers of the Chamber of Accounts in a Bag called Spalia and exprest in old French Item The Constable is to have his Chamber at Court near the King where-ever his Majesty be and in his Chamber is to have twelve Stools and twelve Cushions and Billets for his fire and he is to have a certain allowance of Wine and two pound of small Candles and a Torch by Night to conduct him to his House or into the Town which are to be redelivered next Morning to the Fruiterer And he is to have thirty six Loaves and one Pot of Wine for himself placed near the Stand and two Barrels for his Chamber one towards the Door and the other towards the ends and of every Mess cookt or raw as much as is necessary and a Stable for four-Horses Item If a Castle or Forteress be taken or do yield the Horses Harness Provisions and all other things found therein belong to the Constable except the Gold and the persons that belong to the King and the Artillery that belongs to the Master of the Cross-Bow-Men There has been sometimes made a Lieutenant-General representing the Kings Person throughout the Kingdom which is an Authority almost equal to the Constables though held only by Commission There was one of these made in 1560. under Charles the Ninth and the late Duke of Orleans enjoyed the same Dignity in the Minority of the present King Lemis the Great CHAP. XV. Of the Marshals of France IT will be no easy matter to tell you precisely at what time the Office of Marshal of France was first Instituted because the Historians that have made mention of it are not agreed about that point John le Feron that writes their History makes them to have begun under Clovis the second Son of Dagobert in the person of one Girard Count of Dammartin some others attribute their first Creation to Hugh Capet But I can subscribe to neither of these opinions my first reason is because John de Feron has not the approbation of all those well skill'd in History my second that after having perused over the most part of the French Annalists I can find no mention made of any Marshals of France till the time of Philip the First neither was it by History that I found out the name in that Reign but by reading the Records of the Foundation of the Church of St. Martin des Champs or of St. Martins in the Fields in Paris dated in the year 1067. Signed by his Majesty and other Lords and afterwards by Guy and Anselm Marshals of France without the addition of any other Sur-names This Charter which cannot be charged with Forgery induces me to believe that there were always some of that name and Dignity ever since their first Creation which agrees with the opinion of M. Du Tillet but because it is more commonly believed that they were always the Lieutenants of the Constables I shall not absolutely contradict it and because the Office of Constable was then but the fourth Dignity in the Kingdom and that their Command extended but over a part of the Kings Cavalry I cannot be persuaded that the Marshals of France have always been Generals of Armies The Office of Constable became the first Dignity of France by the Valour of Matthew of Montmorency who in the time of Philip Augustus gained the Battle of Bovines against the joint Forces of the Emperour Otho and the King of England who were then Armed and Leagued together against that Great Prince And then it was that the Dignity of Marshal of France raised it self to that Lustre which it keeps to this day for whereas they were before but Lieutenants of the Constable in the Kings Stables only they from that time his Lieutenants also in the Command of the Armies and since the suppression of that Dignity exercise the whole remainder of the Authority annexed to it which is conferred upon them by putting a Staff of Command into their hands The Marshals of France bear as a mark of their Dignity two Azure Staves set with Flower-deluces of gold passed Salteir-wise behind their Coats of Arms. Their Offices depend wholly of the Crown and they are Sworn for them by the King himself They are commonly given as recompences to Eminent Commanders for some great Military Exploits and are not Hereditary They cannot be deprived of the Title of their Dignities but with the loss of their Lives only they may be suspended from the Exercise of their Office They are not obliged to take any Oath in Parliament no
THE Present State OF FRANCE Containing A General Description OF THAT KINGDOM Corrected and purged from the many Gross Mistakes in the French Copy enriched with Additional Observations and Remarks of the New Compiler and digested into a Method Conformable to that of The State of ENGLAND By R. W. M. A. LONDON Printed for Gilbert Cownly at the Popes-Head in the Lower-Walk of the New-Exchange in the Strand 1687. TO THE Right Honourable RICHARD Lord Vicount Preston IN THE Kingdom of SCOTLAND And One of his Majesties Most Honourable Privy-Council MY LORD THis being my first Essay in Print I thought I could not but in duty present it to your Lordship as being a Description of that Renowned Court and Kingdom wherein your Lordship as upon a Most Illustrious Theater Signaliz'd your Self with so much Reputation to your Self and Country and Mutual Satisfaction to those great Princes between whom you were so successful an Instrument of that good Correspondence that has not a little Contributed to the Happiness of Both Monarchies the most Flourishing at present of Europe And indeed France my Lord being the Place too wherein I was honoured and made happy by so many of your Lordship's Favours what more Congruous Mark could I give you of the Lasting and deeply Impressed Sense I have of them than the Present I humbly make you of France it Self or at least of this small Prospect of so vast a Monarchy A Present which though perhaps inconsiderable on the account of the Imperfections it may have contracted from it's Author will I hope be grateful in respect of its noble Subject and by your accustomed Goodness be accepted as a Cordial Testimony of the real Gratitude and Profound Respect I have and shall ever preserve for your Honour of whom I am My Lord The most humble and most devoted Servant R. Wolley THE PREFACE TO THE READER Courteous Reader YOV have in this Treatise the Portraicture of a great and Flourishing Monarchy viz. The Present State of France as it now is under the Government of the Potent and Victorious Prince Lewis the Fourteenth Sirnamed the Great It is very different from that which formerly appeared under the same Title and though a great deal of the matter be taken out of the latest and best Edition of the French Author on that subject yet it is not altogether a Translation and for your better and clearer understanding of what is remarkable in a Country of the particularities of which our Nation above all others is most curious I have Explained all Passages needing Explication added many Observations of my own made during ten Years Travel and Converse in that Magnificent and splendid Court and digested the Whole into a Method as conformable as the matter would suffer to that observed by the Worthy and Ingenious Author of The Present State of England and consequently if I be not mistaken rendred both the Book and the Country much more intelligible to an English Reader than it was before when it was so far from being Illustrated that it was hardly half Translated and left in many of the most material Places almost as much French as in the Original and done in a very perplexed Method which allay'd much the Pleasure of the Reader who I hope will peruse this with more satisfaction and delight Farewel ☞ Note That l. after the several Summs signifies Livers which is something more in value than eighteen pence English and that d. signifies Deniers or Sols which is in value somewhat loss than a Penny English THE Present State OF FRANCE Of France in general CHAP. I. Of its Name Climate Dimensions Divisions Air Soil Commodities Riches Trade Moneys Weight Measures and Buildings THIS Famous Country has its present Name as by most Authors is agreed from the Franci or Franks a People of Germany who seized upon those parts of it nearest the Rhine in the time of Valentinian the Third and having afterward subdued Paris and made it the Seat-Royal of their growing Empire caused the Country thereabouts to be called FRANCE Which Name as they enlarged their Borders they communicated to the rest of the Country and those parts of Germany also that were Conquered by them The Ancient Name was Gallia or Gaul and the people were called Galli or Gauls and with those that write in Latin the ancient name is still in use It is scituated between the degrees of 15 and 29 of Longitude and between 42 and 51 of Latitude in the Northern Temperate Zone between the middle Parallel of the fifth Clime where the longest day is 15 hours and 12 Minutes and the middle Parallel of the Eighth Clime where the longest day is 16 hours and a half It is bounded on the North with the Brittish Ocean and some parts of the Netherlands on the South with part of the Pyrenean Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the East with a branch of the Alps and the Countries of Savoy Switzerland and some parts of Germany and the Rhine and on the West by the Aquitanian Sea and the rest of the Pyrenean Mountains The figure of it is according to most squarish and to others roundish or tending to an Oval but all agree that it is almost of equal extent every way and much about 200 Leagues or 600 Miles according to the common account of 3 Miles to a League which is an account by which most Geographers mightily inlarge the extent of other Countries and make England much less than it is for I have observed they reckon all by 3 Miles to a common League whereas I never could find that a common French League was more than 2 common Miles and if it be said that in some places they have much longer Leagues that is balanced by answering that in some parts of England there are likewise very long Miles An eminent Geographer reckons it 660 Italian Miles in length 570 in breadth and 2040 in compass and makes it contain 200 Millions of Arpens of Land which is a measure something more than an Acre The Ancient Gallia or Gaul was distinguisht by several Divisions but as not intending a History but only a short Description I shall take notice of but only two made by the Romans after they became Masters of this Country from the time of Julius Caesar by whom it was divided into these four parts viz. 1. Narbonensis is called so from the City of Narbon then a Roman Colony containing Languedoc Provence Dauphiny and some part of Savoy called also Braccata from the wild habit worn by the people 2. Aquitanica so called from the City of Aquae Augustae now D' Acqu's in Guienne lying upon the Pyrenees and the wide Ocean comprehending the Provinces of Gascoyn Guienne Xiantoygne Limosin Quercy Perigort Berry Bourbonnois and Auvergne extending from the Pyrenees to the River Loyre 3. Celtica so named from the valiant Nation of the Celtae also Lugdunensis from the City of Lyons and Comata from the long hair
