Act

As a lawyer, Joseph d'Eymard was the court president and received the office of mayor from the city parliament for the years 1575 to 1577. He was followed by Armand de Gontaut, seigneur de Biron from 1577 to 1581 and then Michel de Montaigne from 1581 to 1585.

During this time he sold citizenship titles to foreigners to pay the troops. Especially Portuguese merchants who had set up business with American trading companies benefited from it.

Eymard is described as an influential personality, "as one of the weisesten consultant religious reconciliation strengthened and advocated useful reforms." Eymard was in the aftermath of St. Bartholomew , previously in a few years Paris a pogrom against the Protestants represented that, for a long time well beyond Eymard's generation into which collective consciousness was branded. He was one of the advocates of "gentle and peaceful means" ( des voies douces et pacifiques ) and knew how to get the clergy and the nobility to come to an understanding. Attempts to establish the faith in the United States in the Catholic religion, which it supported, have not worked.
