POYET, GUILLAUME (14731548)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 238 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POYET, GUILLAUME (14731548) , French
magistrate
 , was born at Angers. After practising successfully as a
barrister
  at Angers and Paris, he was instructed by Louise of Savoy,
mother
  of the king, Francis I., to uphold her rights against the constable de Bourbon in 1521. This was the beginning of his fortunes. Through the influence of the queen-
mother
  he obtained the posts of
advocate
 
    See Also:
-general (1530) and president of the parlement of Paris (1534), and became
chancellor
  of France in 1538. He was responsible for the legal reform contained in the
ordinance
  of Villers-Cotterets (1539), the object of which was to shorten
procedure
 . This ordered the keeping of registers of baptisms and deaths, and enjoined the exclusive use of the French language in legal
procedure
 . With the con-
stable
  de Montmorency he organized an intrigue to ruin
Admiral
  Chabot, and procured his condemnation in 1541; but after the
admiral
  was pardoned, Poyet was himself thrown into prison, deprived of his offices, and sentenced to a fine of ioo,000 livres. He recovered his liberty in 1545, and died in April 1548.
See C. Poree, Guillaume Poyet (Angers, 1898).
