Notes for Jean (v) (Spouse 1)
13Jean Boileau, 8th Baron, and 3rd Lord de Castelnau &c, born in 1545, was 1st Consul of Nismes in 1605, and Syndic of the diocese. In 1571 he married Honora de Blanche, who died leaving one daughter. In 1576 he married, secondly, Rose de Calvière, and by her had twelve children. In 1600 the inhabitants of Nismes deputed him to Montpellier where an assembly was to be held relative to the putting into execution the Edict of Nantes. He died in 1618, and in his widow attained a great age, dying in 1644.
18 He was summoned by the Constable de Montmorency to join him with his following in the expedition in Haut-Languedoc, and answered the call of Ban and arrière-ban.
19[C-D, III, 385] In 1596 he was ordered by the Constable de Montmorency to join him, with his following, in the trip to Haut-Languedoc. He presented himself, in 1594, to the call l’arrière-ban.
[BBB]: “ Jean v succeeded his father as Seigneur de Castelnau, but not yet as Treasurer, perhaps because he was no more than 17 years old in 1562. By that time the Protestants were becoming strong in Nîmes, and there were disturbances between them and the Catholics. In 1567, at least one hundred Catholics were massacred in Nîmes by the Huguenots on the Feast of St Michael and All Angels, from which the occurrence was known as the Michelade. Among those who were adjudged to be implicated and who were deprived of their goods were Robert le Blanc, father of Jean i's first wife: Nicolas de Calvière, father of his second wife, and Jacques Lageret, husband of Claudine i, Jean's sister. Jean does not appear to have been involved, although there is little doubt that he was a Protestant at the time: he certainly was to become one not much later.
In spite of the Michelade, it is remarkable that shortly after the event of this massacre of Saint Bartholemew reached Nîmes, the townspeople of both parties met in council to consider measures to avert disorder, and the orders from Paris for the Catholics to retaliate and kill the Protestants were not carried out. Peace was maintained by mutual accord, and a guard of both religions was placed on the gate.
A joint delegation was sent to the Seneschal to ask for his support. Jean is on record as having been among those present and consenting.
Later he appears as Syndic of the Diocese of Nîmes, no doubt in its secular administrative character: ie, he was its representative in its affairs. In 1586 he was summoned as a Noble to join the Constable Duc de Montmorency who was the Governor of Languedoc, in his journey through the upper part of the Province; and in 1594 he presented himself for service on the call-up of the arrière-ban, or feudal levy.
In 1600, the people of the city deputed him to represent them at an assembly at Montpellier for putting into effect the provisions of the Edict of Nantes, given by King Henry IV, which granted complete toleration to the Protestants and placed them in entire equality with Catholic subjects. In the same year he was a deacon in the Consistory, or Presbytery of the Reformed Church at Nîmes, the duties of the office being to collect and distribute the alms for the benefit of the poor, the prisoners and the sick, to visit them and to care for them.
By 1605 he was 1st Consul of Nîmes. The consuls were the municipal magistrates of the towns in the south of France, forming the executive council. They were elected annually. In Nîmes. there were four. of who the first was a Noble or advocate, alternately; the second, a bourgeois or merchant; the third, a notary or artisan, and the fourth, a labourer.
He married - first, 1571, Honorade, daughter of Robert le Blanc, Juge-royal ordinaire of Nîmes; and second, 1576, Rose, daughter of Noble Nicolas de Calvière de St. Cosme, a distinguished Huguenot, and had thirteen children. Of these Nicolas ii was to succeed his father as Seigneur; Jacques i founded the branch of Boileau d'Uzès, for which see below; while three other sons took arms in the religious and civil wars of the period.”
