Life

Jean de Daillon was the son of Gilles de Daillon († 1443), Seigneur de La Turpinière, and Marie (alias Marguerite) de Montberon or Jeanne de L'Espine († after 1430), daughter of Thibaut de L'Espine, Seigneur de Launay etc., and Crespine de Fromentières, and grew up around the dauphin of the same age and later king (1463) Louis XI. on.

In 1443 he became Seigneur de La Turpinière as heir of his father, in the same year he married Renée, Dame de Fontaine-Guérin . In 1447 he acquired the lordship Le Lude from Guy de Carné , which had been in the possession of Renées mother, Jeanne de Vendôme, and which was then not inherited to his daughter from this marriage, but to his male descendants from his second marriage and thus remained in the Daillon family. In 1456 he began the restoration and expansion of Le Lude Castle , which later became the center of his county of the same name; He had the construction work carried out by Jean Gendrot , the builder of his friend René d'Anjou

In the dispute between King Charles VII and his son Louis (XI), Jean de Daillon sided with the king, which led to his falling out of favor after Louis ascended to the throne. Only after seven years was he accepted back into the court and appointed chamberlain to the king. Further offices at the court and in the regional administration followed quickly one after the other:

• From 1470 to 1474 he was Bailli des Cotentin
• He was Lieutenant-General in Artois , Picardy and Roussillon , where he conquered Perpignan in 1473
• In the same year he became governor of Alençon and Le Perche
• On March 7, 1474 he was appointed governor of the Dauphiné , he remained until his death.
• In the same month he became Capitaine des 100 lances fournies des Ordonnances , later Capitaine des 100 hommes d'armes and Capitaine de Sa Porte (i.e. with Louis XI.)

In 1475, in connection with the Treaty of Rouen of June 6, 1475, he received homage to the Dauphiné from Guillaume VII. De Chalon , Prince of Orange , with whom he recognized the Dauphin's sovereignty over the Principality (this first attempt, the Principality of Orange to be incorporated into the Dauphiné only lasted until August 20, 1498, when King Louis XII revoked the contract).

For his personal fortune, however, the year 1477 was decisive:

• On April 10, 1477 Louis XI gave him. the vice-county of Domfront .
• In September 1477 he became lord of La Ferté-Milon , Bareil and Nogent, which had been confiscated by Jean IV. De Chalon-Arlay , Prince of Orange ; in July 1481 Gézy-lès-Sens was added, which had also been in the possession of Jean de Chalons
• Also in September 1477 he became lord of Leuze and Condé in Hainaut, who had been confiscated by Jacques d'Armagnac , Duke of Nemours (executed on August 4, 1477).

In 1477 he became governor of Artois and Arras , on June 8, 1478 Capitaine-Châtelain of the king of Le Quesnoy ; In 1479 and 1480 he was Bailli and Governor of Touraine
