15[BBB]: First consul of Nimes in 1593.

15[BBB]: “In Nîmes, during the winter of 1683-84, which was extremely rigorous, the dragoons committed the most odious excesses. While there is no actual proof that the Boileau family suffered under this persecution, there is no reason to think that they did not share in the general misery. It is at any rate on record that an old man, M. de la Cassagne, son of Daniel d'Arnaud and Anne i Boileau, had fifty dragoons billeted on him, who kept him awake until he at last bought one hour's sleep for fifty crowns, and in the end, worn out, he abjured.”
