Abstract
At the end of the 1520s Anne de Montmorency, maréchal and grand maître de France, disposed of a group of thirteen men who helped him to manage his affairs (take possession of new seigneuries, render foi et hommage for him, listen to the rendering of accounts from his receveurs, and so on). These major domestic officers composed a tight‐knit network whose internal hierarchy can be derived from an analysis of their correspondence, which is conserved in the library of the Musée Condé at Chantilly. The cohesion of the group was assured by family ties, possession of an office in the household of the grand maître, membership of his ordinance company and, also, by a solid landed implantation around Montmorency properties located in the Ile‐de‐France.
