This volume presents a collection of letters addressed to Jean and Guy de Daillon, Counts of Le Lude, who served as governors of Poitou from 1543 to 1557 and from 1557 to 1585, respectively. Compiled and edited by B lisaire Ledain, these letters offer a fascinating glimpse into the political, social, and administrative life of 16th-century France during the Renaissance. The correspondence sheds light on the roles and responsibilities of regional governors, as well as the interactions between the nobility and the central authority. These primary source documents provide invaluable insights for historians and researchers interested in French history, the Renaissance period, and the governance of Poitou.
