MORHIER, SIMON (d. c. 1450)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 836 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORHIER, SIMON (d. c. 1450) , provost of Paris during the English occupation in the 15th century, was seigneur of Gilles, near Nogent-le-Roi, in the Chartrain country. Being a member of the duke of
Burgundy
 's party, he was appointed provost at Paris by John, duke of
Bedford
 , on the 1st of December 1422. He was taken prisoner at the siege of Montargis in 1427, and again at the battle of Rouvrai in 1429; but in September of the latter year he repulsed Joan of Arc's attack upon Paris. After a campaign in Cotentin in 1435, he was once more taken prisoner at the bridge of Charenton in 1436. Remaining faithful to the English party, he became captain of Dreux, a councillor of
Henry
  VI., and treasurer of France and Normandy. He assisted in the defence of Meaux (1439), of Creil and of Pontoise (1441), and must have died between 1450 and 1456.
See the Nouvelle biographie generale, vol. xxxvi. ; and a note on Simon
Morhier
  in the memoirs of the Antiquarian Society of France, vol. xxv.
