He had made his name as a soldier in the See also:English See also:wars when in 1433 he joined with See also:Yolande, See also:queen of See also:Sicily, the See also:- CONSTABLE (0. Fr. connestable, Fr. connetable, Med. Lat. comestabilis, conestabilis, constabularius, from the Lat. comes stabuli, count of the stable)

- CONSTABLE, HENRY (1562-1613)
- CONSTABLE, JOHN (1776-1837)
- CONSTABLE, SIR MARMADUKE (c. 1455-1518)
constable See also:Richmond and others, in See also:chasing from See also:power Charles VII.'s See also:minister La Tremoille. He was knighted by Charles of See also:Anjou in 1434, and presently entered the royal See also:council. In 1437 he became See also:seneschal of Anjou, and in 1440 of See also:Poitou. During the See also:Praguerie he rendered See also:great service to the royal cause against the dauphin See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis and the revolted nobles, a service which was remembered against him after Louis's See also:accession to the See also:throne. He fought against the English in See also:Normandy in 1440-1441, and in See also:Guienne in 1442. In the next See also:year he became See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger. Chamarling, Chamarlinc, whence also the Med. Lat. cambellanus, camerlingus, camerlengus; Ital. camerlingo; Span. camerlengo, compounded of 0. H. Ger.

chamberlain to Charles VII., and gained the See also:chief power in the See also:state through the See also:influence of See also:Agnes See also:Sorel, superseding his See also:early See also:allies Richmond and Charles of Anjou. The six years (1444–1450) of his ascendancy were the most prosperous See also:period of the reign of Charles VII. His most dangerous opponent was the dauphin Louis, who in 1448 brought against him accusations which led to a formal trial resulting in a See also:complete exoneration of Breze and his restoration to favour. He fought in Normandy in 1450-1451, and became seneschal of the See also:province after the See also:death of Agnes Sorel and the consequent decline of his influence at See also:court. He made an ineffective descent on the English See also:coast at See also:Sandwich in 1457, and was preparing an expedition in favour of See also:Margaret of Anjou when the accession of Louis XI. brought him disgrace and a See also:short imprisonment.
In 1462, however, his son Jacques married Louis's See also:half-See also:sister, See also:Charlotte de See also:Valois, daughter of Agnes Sorel. In 1462 he accompanied Margaret to See also:Scotland with a force of 2000 men, and after the See also:battle of See also:Hexham he brought her back to See also:Flanders. On his return he was reappointed seneschal of Normandy, and See also:fell in the battle of Montlhery on the 16th of See also:July 1465. He was succeeded as seneschal of Normandy by his eldest son Jacques de Breze (c. 1440-1490), See also:count of Maulevrier; and by his See also:grandson, See also:husband of the famous Diane de See also:Poitiers, Louis de Breze (d. 1531), whose See also:tomb in See also:Rouen See also:cathedral, attributed to See also:Jean See also:Goujon and Jean See also:Cousin, is a splendid example of See also:French See also:Renaissance See also:work.
The lordship of Breze passed eventually to Claire Clemence de Maille, princess of See also:Conde, by whom it was sold to See also:- THOMAS
- THOMAS (c. 1654-1720)
- THOMAS (d. 110o)

Thomas See also:Dreux, who took the name of Dreux Breze, when it was erected into a marquisate. See also:HENRI EVRARD, See also:marquis de Dreux-Breze (1762–1829), succeeded his See also:father as See also:master of the ceremonies to Louis XVI. in 1781. On the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of the states-See also:general in 1789 it fell to him to regulate the questions of See also:etiquette and See also:precedence between the three estates. That as the immediate representative of the See also:crown he should See also:wound the susceptibilities of the deputies was perhaps inevitable, but little See also:attempt was made to adapt traditional etiquette to changed circumstances. Breze did not formally intimate to See also:President See also:Bailly the See also:proclamation of the royal seance until the 20th of See also:June, when the carpenters were about to enter the See also:- HALL
- HALL (generally known as SCHWABISCH-HALL, tc distinguish it from the small town of Hall in Tirol and Bad-Hall, a health resort in Upper Austria)

hall to prepare for the event, thus provoking the session in the See also:tennis court. After the royal seance Breze was sent to reiterate Louis's orders that the estates should meet separately, when See also:Mirabeau replied that the hall could not be cleared except by force.
After the fall of the Tuileries Breze emigrated for a short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time, but though he returned to See also:France he was spared during the Terror. At the Restoration he was made a peer of France, and resumed his functions as See also:guardian of an antiquated ceremonial. He died on the 27th of See also:January 1829, when he was succeeded in the See also:peerage and at court by his son Scipion (1793–1845).
The best contemporary See also:account of Pierre de Breze is given in the Chroniques of the Burgundian chronicler, Georges See also:Chastellain, wha had been his secretary. Chastellain addressed a Deprecation tr Louis XI. on his behalf at the time of his disgrace.
