ROUAULT, JOACHIM (d. 1478)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 767 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROUAULT, JOACHIM (d. 1478) , French soldier, was a member of an old family of Poitou. He attached himself to the dauphin (afterwards Louis XI.) and became his premier squire. He followed Louis in his expedition against the Swiss in 1444, distinguished himself in the war against England in 1448, and received the posts of
governor
  of Blaye and Fronsac and con-
stable
  of Bordeaux. After taking an important part in the battle of Castillon (1453), which resulted in the defeat and death of John Talbot, 1st
earl
  of Shrewsbury, he fought against John V.,
count
  of Armagnac, in 1455, and in the following year made a fruitless expedition into
Scotland
 . He took part in the campaign in Catalonia, and became
marshal
  of France in 1461, and
governor
  of Paris in 1471. In 1471 and 1472 he defended Amiens and Beauvais against the Burgundians. Towards the end of his life he was disgraced by Louis XI., and sentenced to banishment and the
confiscation
  of his property.
