1624 October: Le Mercure françois #7

NEWS FROM PARIS
The King has renewed the following appointments:
  • Lieutenant-General Baudouin Anouilh as Royal Governor of Paris.
  • Lt-General JosĂ© Lemoine's as Commandant of the Military Academy.
  • Lt-General Pierre-Louis Marchal as Royal Governor of Normandy.
  • Lt-General Abeau Benett as Royal Governor of Flanders.
  • Lt-General Bertrand Leblanc as Royal Governor of Aquitaine.
  • Lt-General Anatole Bocuse as Royal Governor of Burgundy.
  • Lt-General Claude D'Amboise as Royal Governor of Languedoc.
  • Lt-General Maximilien Toussaint as Royal Governor of Provence.

Furthermore, Captain Auguste De Verley was appointed Aide to the Crown Prince, and Lieutenant-Colonel GĂ©rald Pascal was appointed Aide to the Field Marshal.

Raymonde GĂ©rin-Lajoie was appointed Principal of the Academy of Etiquette.

Smallpox keeps taking lives. This month both Monsieurs Alexandre Duclos and Gaëtan Lafleche succumbed.

Lieutenant-Colonel le Chevalier Armand Lebeau is reported to have repaid his loan with the shylocks. He then convinced his regimental commander to volunteer the Dragoon Guards to the front.

Major Bastien Durand joined Scudery's Salon. Monsieur Jacques Lannoy's membership with Scarron's was revoked when he, probably due to illness, was unable to pay his dues. Lieutenant Colonel Pierre Dragos left Scarrons's to join Scudery's.

Major Renné Gade was noted for his conspicuous consumption.

Week 1
Mjr Gade accepted the challenge to duel from Lt-Col Dragos, and brought Lt-Col le Chevalier Lebeau as second. The duel took place in a private courtyard. As the duellists drew their rapiers, Lt-Col Dragos went all in on attack, and struck a hit that put Mjr Gade off balance. Mjr Gade blocked Lt-Col Dragos' next attack and put him in a disadvantageous position. At that point Mjr Gade decided to attack strongly, but was unable to take the initiative. His offense left him defenceless and Lt-Col Dragos managed to wound him badly. Visibly shaken by the pain Mjr Gade surrendered.

Lt-Col le Chevalier Lebeau left for the front immediately after the duel.

Mjr Durand was seen by the bawdyhouses.

Colonel Beau Geste, on the other hand, attended church, donating conspicuously for himself, accompanied by his paramour Madmoiselle Andrée Grosjean.

Despite his injuries - or perhaps because of them - Mjr Gade practiced the rapier at his regiment.

Week 2
The King received an important delegation from the Kingdom of Portugal.

Mjr Durand spent two weeks practising the cutlass.

Col Geste was seen carousing at Scudery's.

Mjr Gade attended the sermon at St Martin church, bringing his paramour Madmoiselle Josseline Sylvestre and donating conspicuously.

Week 3
Mjr Gade held a seminar at the Académie militaire. Among the attendees were Col Geste and, again remarkably, Lt-Col Dragos.

At the Louvre a great ball was held, with much merriment.

Week 4
Mjr Durand attended church and donated conspicuously.

Col Geste practiced the rapier.

Lt-Col Dragos was seen visiting a bawdyhouse.

Mjr Gade brought Mlle Sylvestre for some carousing at Scarron's. She was seen caressing his wounds.

Just one comment. According the roster in 1624 October: Brigades and Regiments thread, the situation of the 3rd (Provence) and 4th (Languedoc) has been swaped (at least about whom the GD reinforced).
