Description
Fortification des places fortes du Poitou
Le 19 juillet 1367, une ordonnance royale prescrit une nationalisation des places fortes.
Les maîtres des châteaux forts doivent mettre ceux-ci en état de supporter un siège, les approvisionner en vivres et munitions, les pourvoir en artillerie et tout cela à leurs frais.
À l'époque où elle fut promulguée, cette ordonnance ne dut, cependant, pas concerner Pierre De Montfaucon, alors seigneur de Saint-Mesmin.
Les Poitevins anglais (dont Guillaume Larchevêque, suzerain de Pierre De Montfaucon) ne rejoignirent le parti français qu'après le 30 novembre 1372, date de la capitulation anglaise au château de Thouars, devant le siège établi par Duguesclin.
Fortification of the fortified towns of Poitou
On July 19, 1367, a royal ordinance prescribed the nationalization of the strongholds.
The masters of castles had to put them in a position to withstand a siege, provide them with food and ammunition, provide them with artillery and all this at their own expense.
At the time it was promulgated, however, this ordinance must not have concerned Pierre De Montfaucon, then Lord of Saint-Mesmin.
The English Poitevins (including Guillaume Larchevêque, suzerain of Pierre De Montfaucon) only joined the French party after November 30, 1372, the date of the English surrender at the Château de Thouars, in front of the headquarters established by Duguesclin.
