Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Juson
Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Juson, aka Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Suzon.
At least one highly-reputed 19th century
Life and occupation
Jean de Laforcade was a lawyer by occupation. His career reflected both his own, and his family's, close relationship to
- The earliest known citation of Jean de Laforcade is in 1576, with the recording of a donation of 250
- Appointed
- 1590, payment of an allowance of 100
- In 1593, a first
- 1595, appointed Counsellor at the Criminal Court of Béarn ("Conseiller à la Chambre criminelle").[17]
- In 1596, a second
- About 1598–99, the sale of
- About 1599, the marriage by Catherine de Navarre.[18]
- The marriage by
- Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn on 3 December 1607.[26]
- Judge in the newly-erected Seneschalty of Sauveterre in 1606.[27]
"…I am glad for that which the arrival of Mr. de la Fourcade announces for me, he
will assist me in many things, because he has not yet been touched by any of the
affairs of Béarn; in such a manner that you feel that I would be very distant from
power from here, before breaking camp [in Fontainebleau], at least the way I see it…"[4][8]
And again in his letter from Paris dated 21 December 1606 to his wife:
"…The last news I have of you was sent by Mr. de la Fourcade, written from
Cugnac; I long to learn of the joyous birth of our daughter in Castelnaud.
I do not think I can leave here sooner than around the fifteenth of January,
because it will take me fifteen days, after breaking camp, to wrap up my business…"[28]
- In 1607, he is cited in his capacity of
- As an États de Béarn at the General Assembly of the Reformed Church of France in Saumur, together with Pierre de Gontaut-Biron, Baron d'Arros, and Gaillard du Casse, Pastor of Salies-de-Béarn in 1611.[4][32]
"…Pending this, I will not conceal that I found very bad the deputation made by those
of the
and du Casse, that they, for their part, find themselves at the Assembly of Saumur,
notwithstanding the opinion [I have] of their persons, which I consider as was
told to me, and they will conduct themselves there as the righteous ones at the
entertainment of the State in which they have their fortunes and their families; but
as the consequence, having never done this during the life of my lord the late King
and not having had any reason since his death, as you all too well know, and the
good treatment they received from
should they give us reason. What you will make them understand, and that which they
will need to properly demonstrate by their actions and behavior in the said Assembly,
should give me complete satisfaction, which I dare to promise should they behave
according to your instructions, on the assurance I have that you will give so
instruct them, as well as to others who find themselves at the said Assembly, as
your loyalty and affection to service to the King, my said Sire and son, and to the
State, makes me hope of you. And this I pray to God, etc. Written in Paris, the 18th
day of May 1611. [Signed:] Marie. [And a little lower:] de Loménie."[4][16]
In a letter written by the now
dated 30 June 1611: "Sir, you will see from what I write to the Queen, and to the
Chancery of Navarre, the reason for hurry, that you will well be able to judge by
the state of affairs such that things do not remain as they are. There is a letter
from Mr. de Saulguis, Counsellor, to Mr. de La Fourcade, that orders him, that the
Viscount d'Échaux and all of the country arm themselves with anything they can,
having great apprehension to receive an unwelcome arrival. I beg you hold the
matter in your hands such that it be reviewed according to the importance of the
facts, and I should be particularly well-informed concerning the wishes of His
Majesty (sic) and what I would have to do…"[4][6]
From
- In his capacity as
- After France and Spain reached an agreement on 21 November 1614, he was again selected by France on 13 May 1615 to be one of their five representatives for the implementation of the agreement.[35]
- On 16 July 1613, an auction by Isaac de Lechimia, Jurat of Pau, of a house and furniture belonging to Jean de Laforcade, an inhabitant of Pau, to the benefit of Raymond de Vinsan, Captain in Nay.[15]
"It is by the means of Mr. de La Fourcade, who dispatched a man to Pau; and so that
you can see that we are all good husbands, he will bring you news about us. I still
cannot send you news of the Estates, because we are still at the beginning; but I am
given hope that news will not be long. As concerns our neighbors, the cattle they
stole were returned in exchange for a bail. I have not yet seen the Viscount d'Échaux;
he was feeling worse, as I learned there that those from Upper Navarre want to
affirm the rights they claim, so what we must do will depend on the King's wishes.[5][7]
He again names Jean de La Fourcade in a letter to Mr. de Loménie written from Pau in November 1615:
"…I will tell you the pain I foresee; it is up to you, Sir, who can see more
clearly there, to apply the remedies that I so very humbly beg of you, as is
also the case in the matter of the Aldude, on which subject I received two
letters from the Viscount d'Échaux et de la vallée de Baigorry, that I send
you, where you will see the lamentations of these poor people, who are dying
of poverty this year, their corn having been frozen and their millets burned.
I hear that Mr. de Bayonne quickly dispatches, waiting for the Sieur de La
Fourcade to follow, who he feels must make the trip, since they have broken
their treaty with the Commissioners of Spain, who with their proposals, only
provisionally did not want to give the people of Baigorry either rights or
usage in Aldude…"[5][36]

He was stripped of his nobility by the King before 12 May 1616,[5] probably shortly before 16 July 1613,[15] allegedly for the dérogeance of acquiring some farms in the Pays de Marsan,[citation needed] in present-day department of Landes.
Charlotte de Gontaut-Biron, who a few years later would become the Marshal and Duchess de La Force, finally names Jean de La Fourcade in one of her letters, from
"Sir, we learned by way of letters from Bordeaux that peace was published in Blois,
that the Chancellor was dismissed, his office given to Mr. du Vair, First President
of the
may be to his glory, the pleasure of the righteous and to the benefit of the State!
Mr. de La Fourcade also sends the same wishes to you, Sir, and added his request to
restore him and his family in all their charges, honors, dignities and pensions, and
that the rest of his affairs are going well enough. I do not know if this news will
change your opinion for your return, and if it will not hasten it. Mr. d'Espalungue
received letters from Holland that summon him that this War of the Jülich Succession
restarts, and that one of the Archdukes, whose name I did not retain, makes grand
preparations and armaments to lay siege to that place there…"[5][38]
- In 1619, he was the Oloron.[39]
- Jean de Laforcade participated in the meeting of the Louis XIII of Franceon 19 October 1620, as evidenced by a document written by a member of Parliament. An excerpt, translated into English, reads:
"Opening of the
he was given 16000 petits
After the dinner on Monday, the 19th of the month of October, we left the
toward one o'clock in the afternoon,
Du Pont, Loyard, Dufour, Laugar, Gillot, Lendressc, Marca, Claverie, all three of
the King's staff, and I, in a red robe, to participate in the opening of the
Estates, that took place in the great lower hall of the castle, where a small
stage or theater was set up, on which there was a chair, on which the
Jean de Laforcade apparently returned in later life to spend the last years of his life near his sons in parish of Saint-Martin de Monclaris, in the house he built, Caubeyran Manor. Jean de Forcade is named in a limited number of notarial acts in the first half of the 17th century with the simple qualifications of merchant, farmer[41] and inhabitant of the parish of Saint-Martin de Monclaris in the diocese of Bazas.[41] Jean de Forcade obtained letters from the Bishop of Bazas authorizing him burial rights in the parish church itself,[41] in the commune of Sigalens, on 20 June 1639.[41]
The Caubeyran Manor ("
Although he did not live to see it, his sons and their
Gabriel O'Gilvy put forth that he was the son of Gaston de Forcade,[44] who was born about 1480 in Orthez. Chaix d'Est-Ange and other authors, however, cast serious doubts on this claim, mainly because O'Gilvy did not provide any source citations to support his claim, and because of, what they considered as, an unforgivable age difference of about 75 years between the two births. Chaix d'Est-Ange felt that one or more generations were missing in between. Recent 21st century research confirms that two generations were, in fact, missing. And, there is new evidence to indicate that these missing generations descended instead from Raymond de Forcade, Gaston's youngest brother.

Children
He had at least four sons and two daughters:
- Pierre de Laforcade,[57][58][59] aka Pierre de Forcade[60] (* before 1578, presumably in Auvillar, † after 1656),[61] Lawyer,[62] Lawyer at the Parliament of Navarre,[57][58][59] Jurat[60] in Pau (1626), and Director of the Mint in Pau (Garde en la monnaie de Pau)[62] (1622[62][63]–56)[61][64][65][66][67][68] and Head of the Mints of Navarre (Général des Monnaies de Navarre) (1634).[69] He married with Marie de Maserolles before 1601, then again with Jeanne de Pargade[57] before 1627.
- Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Saint-Genest († Before 1656). Together, he and his son are the founders of the branch of the sieurs de Saint-Genest and the sieurs de Caubreyan.
- Étienne I. de Forcade († After 1656). Together, he and his sons are the founders of the branch of the sieurs de La Grézère and the sieurs de La Roquette.
- An unnamed son who carried on both the family name and the responsibilities of being the King's Oloron, as evidenced by the coat of arms registered in the Armorial de Béarn in 1697.[56]
- Marie de Laforcade († Before 19 January 1609) who married Noble Jean de Minvielle, Seigneur du Domecq de Dognen, between 1605 and 1606.[14]

The
Other Family
Circumstantial evidence points to other close family members and descendants. Due to incomplete or missing protestant church records, the exact relationship is not known.
- Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Sauroux († After 1656), Squire, in or near the town of Sauveterre, is named and cited as a first cousin of the petitioners in article eight of the 1656 judgment by the Court of Aids of Guyenne that restored his sons Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Saint-Genest and Étienne I. de Forcade, and their descendants, to their ancient nobility.[45] He is the son of an unnamed brother of Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Suzon. This article of the judgment, translated into English, reads:
"…Eighth, they have produced an investigation conducted in the town
of Sauveterre in Béarn, by the authority of the elected officials of
Guyenne, at the request of Jean de Forcade, Squire, Seigneur de
Sauroux, first cousin of the petitioners, by which it is amply
verified that their
always held rank at the [Order of the Nobility of the] Estates of
the land of Béarn…"[45]
