SEGUIER 583
Other celebrated members of the Segrave See also:family are Sir See also:Hugh Segrave (d. c. 1386), treasurer of See also:England from 1381 until his See also:death, and See also:Stephen de Segrave (d. 1333), a noted pluralist, who was See also:arch-See also:bishop of See also:Armagh from 1323 until his death on the 27th of See also:October 1333.
S$GUIER, See also:PIERRE (1588—1672), See also:chancellor of See also:France, was See also:born in See also:Paris on the 28th of May 1588, of a famous legal family originating in See also:Quercy. His grandfather, Pierre Seguier (1504—158o), was See also:president d See also:mortier in the See also:parlement of Paris from 1554 to 1576, and the chancellor's See also:father, See also:Jean Seguier, a seigneur d'Autry, was See also:civil See also:lieutenant of Paris at the 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.

time of his death in 1596. Pierre was brought up by his See also:uncle, See also:Antoine Seguier, president d mortier in the parlement, and became See also:master of See also:requests in 162o. From 1621 to 1624 he was See also:intendant of See also:Guienne, where he became closely allied with the duc d'See also:Epernon. In 1624 he succeeded to his uncle's charge in the parlement, which he filled for nine years. In this capacity he showed See also:great See also:independence with regard to the royal authority; but when in 1633 he became keeper of the See also:seals under See also:Richelieu, he proceeded to See also:bully and humiliate the parlement in his turn. He became allied with the See also:cardinal's family by the See also:marriage of his daughter See also:Marie with Richelieu's See also:nephew, Cesar du Cambout, See also:marquis de Coislin,l and in See also:December 1635 he became chancellor of France. In 1637 Seguier was sent to examine the papers of the See also:queen, See also:Anne of See also:Austria, at Val de See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

Grace. According to See also:Anquetil, the chancellor saved her by warning her of the projected See also:inquisition. In 1639 Seguier was sent to punish the See also:Normans for the insurrection of the Nu-Pieds, the military See also:chief of the expedition, Gassion, being placed under his orders. He put down pillage with a strong See also:hand, and was sufficiently disinterested to refuse a See also:gift of confiscated See also:Norman lands. He was the submissive See also:tool of Richelieu in the prosecutions of Cinq-See also:Mars and See also:Francois Auguste de See also:Thou in 1642. His authority survived the changes following on the successive deaths of Richelieu and See also:- LOUIS

Louis XIIL, and he was the faithful servant of Anne of Austria and of See also:Mazarin. His resolute attitude towards the parlement of Paris made the chancellor one of the chief See also:objects of the hatred of the Frondeurs. On the 25th of See also:August 1648, Seguier was sent to the parlement to regulate its proceedings. On the way he was assailed by rioters on the See also:Pont-Neuf, and sought See also:refuge in the See also:house of Louis See also:Charles d'See also:Albert, duc de See also:Luynes. In the course of the concessions made to the See also:Fronde in 165o, Seguier was dismissed from his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of keeper of the seals. He spent part of his retirement at See also:Rosny, with his second daughter See also:Charlotte and her See also:husband, the See also:duke of See also:Sully.' He was recalled in See also:April 1651, but six months later, on the See also:- KING

king's attaining his See also:majority, Seguier was again disgraced, and the seals were given to President Mathieu See also:Mole, who held them with a See also:short See also:interval till his death in 1656, when they were returned to Seguier. Seguier lived for some time in extreme retirement in Paris, devoting himself to the affairs of the See also:academy. When Paris was occupied by the princes in 1652, he was for a short time a member of their See also:council, but he joined the king at See also:Pontoise in August, and became president of the royal council. After Mazarin's death in 1661 Seguier retained but a See also:shadow of his former authority. He showed a great violence in his conduct of the See also:case against See also:Fouquet (q.v.), voting for the death of the prisoner. In 1666 he was placed at the See also:head of a See also:commission called to simplify the See also:police organization, especially that of Paris; and the consequent ordinances of 1667 and 167o for the better See also:administration of See also:justice were See also:drawn up by him. He died at St Germain on the 28th of See also:January 1672.
Seguier was a See also:man of great learning, and throughout his See also:life a See also:patron of literature. In December 1642 he succeeded Richelieu as See also:official " See also:protector " of the Academy, which from that time until his death held its sessions in his house. His library was one of the most valuable of his time, only second, perhaps, to the royal collection. It contained no less than 4000 See also:MSS. in various See also:languages, the most important See also:section of them being the See also:Greek MSS. A See also:catalogue was drawn up in Latin and in See also:French (1685–1686) by the
