Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LORE, AMBROISE DE (1396-1446) , baron of Ivry in Normandy and a French
commander
 , was born at the chateau of
Lore
  (Orne, arrondissement of Domfront). His first exploit in arms was at the battle of Agincourt in 1415; he followed the party of the Armagnacs and attached himself to the dauphin Charles. He waged continual warfare against the
English
  in
Maine
  until the advent of
Joan
  of Arc. He fought at Jargeau, at Meung-sur-Loire and at Patay (1429). Using his fortress of Saint Ceneri as a base of operations during the next few years, he seized upon
Matthew
  Gough near Vivoin in 1431, and made an incursion as far as the walls of Caen, whence he brought away three thousand prisoners. Taken
captive
  himself in 1433, he
was exchanged for Talbot. In 1435 he and Dunois defeated the
English
  near Meulan, and in 1436. he helped the constable
Arthur,
earl
  of Richmond (de Richmond), to expel them from Paris. He was appointed provost of Paris in
February
  1437, and in 1438 he was made " judge and general reformer of the malefactors of the kingdom." He was present in 1439 at the
taking of Meaux, in 1441 at that of Pontoise, and he died on the 24th of May 1446.
