Notes for François (i) Boileau
Lieut.-Col. of Cavalry, drowned at Naples
19[C-D, III, 386] : successively Captain in the Regiment of Roussillon, Major in the Regiment of the Cardinal of Sainte-Cecile, and finally Lieutenant-Colonel of Cavalry in that of Estrigi (?), in which position he drowned at Naples.
15[BBB]: b 1620-25, and still under 30 when his father made his will on 3rd January, 1648. Capt in the Regt de Rousillon, his father having been given a King's commission of a company of 100 foot-soldiers in the regt of M le Comte de Rousillon, dated 10th January, 1642.
The regt was disbanded in 1645. During the period 1642-45, it was engaged in Catalunya 1642-43, with the Army of the Rhine 1644, including the battle of Fribourg and the siege of Philipsburg, and in Catalunya again in 1645, but there is no information to show if François was present with the regt throughout. This may be assumed since he had followed a military career. In 1648 he was Capt-Major in command of the Regt de Ste Cecile, and was certified as having served throughout the campaign of that year in Catalunya. He is known to have become later a Lieut Col in the Cavalry Regt of Destrigi, but nothing can be learnt about this unit. He was drowned on a voyage to Naples, which must have been before his father's death in 1657, as it is stated that Jacques ii, the second , then succeeded as Seigneur de Castelnau.
