1. Title: "Charles Tiercelin, Sieur de La Roche du Mayne: A French Soldier of Distinction" Charles Tiercelin, born around 1482, was a renowned French soldier who rose to prominence during the late Middle Ages. Known as the Sieur de La Roche du Mayne, Tiercelin's military career spanned several decades and saw him participate in numerous battles and campaigns. This evocative photograph print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of Tiercelin's formidable presence. The image, taken from an original portrait painting, depicts him as a man of great stature and authority. His piercing gaze, framed by a thick, dark beard, conveys a sense of determination and resolve. The intricate details of his armor, adorned with the insignia of the French monarchy, underscore his status as a high-ranking military commander. Tiercelin's military exploits began in the early 16th century, during the Italian Wars. He served under King Louis XII and later, King Francis I, distinguishing himself in battles against the Swiss, the Habsburgs, and the League of Cambrai. In 1525, he played a crucial role in the defense of Paris during the siege by the Imperial army, led by Charles V. Despite his military successes, Tiercelin's life was not without its challenges. In 1536, he was captured by the Imperial forces and spent several years as a prisoner. Upon his release, he continued to serve France, eventually being appointed as the governor of the French garrison in Boulogne-sur-Mer. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable French soldier, whose legacy extends beyond the annals of military history. Charles Tiercelin, Sieur de La Roche du Mayne, remains an enduring symbol of courage, loyalty, and military prowess.
