Church; he received the See also:minor orders, and on the See also:appointment of his See also:uncle Nicolas to the episcopate succeeded him as a See also:canon of Notre-See also:Dame. But his tastes led him in a different direction; not content with a knowledge of books, he wished to know the See also:world and men. During a See also:period of ten years he seized every opportunity for profitable travel. In 1573 he accompanied See also:Paul de See also:Foix on an See also:embassy, which enabled him to visit most of the See also:Italian courts; he formed a friendship with See also:Arnaud d'Ossat (afterwards bishop of See also:Rennes and See also:Bayeux and See also:cardinal, d. 1604), who was secretary to the See also:ambassador. In the following See also:year he formed See also:part of the brilliant cortege which brought See also:- KING

Henry III. back to France, after his See also:flight from his See also:Polish king-dom. He also visited several parts of France, and at See also:Bordeaux met See also:Montaigne. On the See also:death, however, of his See also:elder See also:brother See also:jean (See also:April 5, 1579), who was mafire See also:des requetes to the parlement, hi's relations prevailed on him to leave the Church, and he entered the parlement and married (1588). In the same year he was appointed See also:cos-See also:miller d'etat. He served faithfully both the effeminate, bigoted and cruel Henry III. and Henry IV., a sceptic and given to love-intrigues, because they were both the representatives of legitimate authority. He succeeded his uncle Augustin as president a See also:mortier (1595); and used his new authority in the interests of religious See also:peace, negotiating, on the one See also:hand, the See also:Edict of See also:Nantes with the Protestants, while in the name of the principals of the Gallican Church he opposed the recognition of the See also:Council of See also:Trent. This attitude exposed him to the animosity of the See also:League party and of the See also:Holy See, and to their persecution when the first edition of his history appeared. This history was the See also:work of his whole See also:life. In a See also:letter of the 31st of See also:March 1611 addressed to the president See also:Jeannin, he himself describes his See also:long labours in preparation of it. His materials for See also:writing it were See also:drawn from his See also:rich library, which he established in the See also:Rue des Poitevins in the year 1587, with the two See also:brothers, See also:Pierre and Jacques See also:Dupuy, as librarians. His See also:object was to produce a purely scientific and unbiassed work, and for this See also:reason he wrote it in Latin, giving it as See also:title Historia sui See also:tern poris. The first 18 books, embracing the period from 1545-1560, appeared in 1604 (1 vol. See also:folio), and the work was at once attacked by those whom the author himself calls See also:les envieux et les factieux. The second part, dealing with the first See also:wars of See also:religion (1560-1572), was put on the See also:Index librarum prohlbitorum
the ramparts of the See also:town dating from the 13th See also:century and flanked by huge towers are still to be seen, and a See also:bridge of the same period crosses the Thouet. The manufacture of See also:furniture and wooden shoes, and the preparation of veterinary See also:medicine and See also:lime, are carried on. See also:Wine, livestock and agricultural produce are the See also:chief articles of See also:trade.
See also:Thouars, which probably existed in the Gallo-See also:Roman period, became in the 9th century the seat of powerful viscounts, who in later times were zealous supporters of the See also:English. In 1372 the latter were expelled from the town by See also:Bertrand du Guesclin. In 1563 See also:Charles IX. created See also:- LOUIS
