The connetable, a prominent figure in French history, played a crucial role in maintaining order and protecting the realm. From Charles Duc De Luynes to Louis-Hector, Duc de Villars, these individuals held significant positions of power and influence. One notable event associated with the connetables was the repression of rebellion over la Gabelle. This chromolitho depicts the intense struggle to maintain control over this controversial tax on salt during the reign of Anne de Montmorency. Speaking of Anne de Montmorency, his coloured engraving showcases his regal presence and authority. The lock with his monogram further symbolizes his status as a connetable. This iron artifact serves as a reminder of his power and influence during this period. Moving back in time, Arthur III Duke of Brittany is another renowned connetable who left an indelible mark on French history. His portrait captures him as Earl of Richmond, showcasing both his military prowess and political significance. Olivier V de Clisson is yet another iconic figure who served as connetable de France during the 14th century. Known for his loyalty to King Charles V, he played a vital role in defending France against its enemies. Duguesclin's coloured engraving portrays him as Connetable sous Charles Renowned for his military achievements during the Hundred Years' War, Duguesclin became one of France's most celebrated warriors. Connetable de Chastillon also had an illustrious career serving under various kings throughout French history. This coloured engraving highlights their importance within royal circles and their contributions to maintaining stability within the kingdom. The Chateau de Vizille stands as a testament to the wealth and prestige bestowed upon constables like Lesgiuieres in 1611-19 when it was built specifically for them. Its grandeur reflects their elevated status within society at that time. Even beyond France's borders, we find the connetable's influence.
