Les transformations du logis seigneurial de Dunois au château de Beaugency par Jean d'Orléans-Longueville au début du XVIe siècle

摘要

Early sixteenth-century transformations made by Jean d'Orléans-Longueville to Dunois's seigniorial residence at the Château de Beaugency, by Daniel Bontemps The seigniorial residence in the Château de Beaugency, transformed and enlarged in the mid fifteenth century by Dunois, the famous batard d'Orléans, is not well-known. Archives that have not previously been used to advantage and seventeenth- and eighteenth-century plans allow the reconstruction of the form and functions of the different parts of this residence, which was transformed yet again between 1516 and 1 524. It was Jean d'Orléans-Longueville, archbishop of Toulouse, who modified the residence of his ancestor. Facing this residence Jean also built his own dwelling in the style of the first Renaissance. Unfortunately only vestiges remain, namely the contemporary adjoining pavilion. The prelate introduced this new art to Beaugency by employing the master masons and stone cutters - Pierre Gadier, Pierre Chausse and Pierre Biard - who had either worked on the Longueville wing of the family castle at Châteaudun or came from Orléans.
