Jean Armand de Maillé
Jean Armand de Maillé (né le 18 Octobre 1619 à Milly-le-Meugon - mort le 14 juin 1646 à la Bataille d'Orbetello), duc de Fronsac, marquis de Brézé, était un célèbre marin français du xviie siècle, disparu prématurément à l'âge de 27 ans.
Colonel à 15 ans, général des galères à 20 ans, grand-maître de la navigation à 24 ans, Maillé-Brézé participa à huit campagnes de guerre à la mer, au cours desquelles il remporta un nombre impressionnant de victoires, qui assurèrent, pour un temps, à la marine de Louis XIII la maîtrise de la Méditerranée occidentale.
Fils d'Urbain de Maillé, marquis de Brézé et Maréchal de France, Jean-Armand de Maillé, neveu de Richelieu par sa mère, Nicole du Plessis-Richelieu, sœur cadette du cardinal, fut élevé par l'Abbé d'Aubignac sous la surveillance et la protection de son oncle, et commença à servir dans l'armée avec son père dès l'âge de 15 ans.
Comme le lui permettaient les revenus de sa puissante famille, il leva un régiment d'infanterie à ses frais pour débuter dans la guerre de Quatre-Vingts Ans, entrant ainsi directement dans l'armée au grade de mestre de camp ou colonel.
En 1636, Richelieu lui fit donner en survivance sa charge de grand-maître de la navigation, créée pour le cardinal. Il remplaça, l'année suivante, le vice-amiral de Sourdis, relevé de son commandement, à la tête de la flotte du Ponant.
Nommé en 1639 général des galères, il opéra alors en Méditerranée, alla battre le 27 Juillet 1640, devant Cadix, la flotte Espagnole, s'empara de Villafranca et neutralisa les Génois.
L'année suivante, Maillé-Brézé est envoyé en ambassade au Portugal, alors en révolte contre l’Espagne.
En 1642, il reprit la mer avec 20 vaisseaux armés à Brest. Le 25 Mai, il arriva à Barcelone, où il concentra une escadre de 41 vaisseaux, 17 galères et treize brûlots. Le 30 Juin, il rejoignit la flotte Espagnole et engagea alors devant Barcelone une terrible bataille de quatre jours (1er-3 Juillet), au terme de laquelle il força l'ennemi à la retraite. Il assura ainsi le succès de l'armée de Catalogne et permit la prise de Perpignan et la conquête du Roussillon.
Devenu en Décembre 1642, à la mort de Richelieu, intendant et grand-maître de la navigation, gouverneur de l'Aunis et de La Rochelle, il hérita du cardinal le duché-pairie de Fronsac. L'année suivante, il remporta un nouvel et éclatant succès, le 3 Juillet 1643, en infligeant un véritable désastre à une flotte Espagnole au cap de Gate, près de Carthagène et s'assura ainsi la maîtrise presque absolue de la Méditerranée occidentale.
Cette même année 1643, Jean Armand de Maillé rendit à la reine sa charge de grand-maître, mais en conservant le commandement de la flotte. Il remporta de nouveau une double victoire les 9 Août et 4 Septembre lors de la bataille de Carthagène où l'ennemi perdit huit vaisseaux, dont le vaisseau Amiral de Naples et 3,000 marins. Deux médailles furent frappées en l'honneur de ces succès.
En 1646, après une campagne à Tarragone, il reprit la mer. La guerre s'étant transportée en Italie, d'où Mazarin cherchait à chasser les Espagnols, Maillé-Brézé était sur le point de remporter une brillante victoire au large d'Orbetello, le 14 Juin, lorsqu'il fut coupé en deux par un boulet.
Il eut sous ses ordres le très-controversé Saint-Germain Beaupré, dont il était, selon Tallemant, tout à fait entiché.
Son corps fut rapporté à l'église de Milly. Le 5 Juillet, un service solennel est célébré à Saint-Maurice d'Angers, et son éloge funèbre prononcé par le Père Bonichon, de l'Oratoire. Il avait porté l'esprit d'offensive à un tel degré que sa disparition prématurée laissa un temps la Marine royale, privée d'un chef exceptionnellement doué, désorientée, précipitant une décadence qui ne cessait de s'accélérer depuis la mort de Richelieu.
Par sa sœur Claire-Clémence, le duc de Fronsac était lié au premier prince du sang, qui hérita les qualités, titres et biens des Maillé-Brézé à la mort de son épouse.
Maillé-Brézé était parfois appelé, de son vivant, duc de Brézé6, bien qu'il semble que Brézé soit resté marquisat.
Jean Armand de Maillé, marquis de Brézé figure peint sur toile dans une salle du Château de Jalesne (commune de Vernantes), ainsi que dans la salle des amiraux au Château de Versailles, où trois toiles de Théodore Gudin représentent les combats du cap Saint-Vincent, de Carthagène et d'Orbitello.
Trois bâtiments de guerre ont déjà porté le nom de Maillé-Brézé:
Un vaisseau au xviie siècle.
Un contre-torpilleur de 2 400 tonnes lancé en 1930 et détruit accidentellement en 1940.
Un escorteur d'escadre admis au service actif le 4 Mars 1957, désarmé en 1988. Remorqué jusqu'à Nantes, il y est devenu le premier musée naval à flot de France.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.

The canal consists of two level pounds, separated by a flight of 16 locks at Marple, which raise the canal by 209 feet (64 m) over the course of 1 mile (1.6 km).
Whilst the rest of the canal was opened to navigation by 1796, insufficient money was available to complete the necessary flight of locks to connect the two halves, and a temporary tramway was installed until such time as the locks could be completed, which finally happened in 1804.

Schloss Chillon – Château de Chillon
***************************************************************************************************************
***************************************************************************************************************
.
.
.
Das Schloss Chillon befindet sich fünf Kilometer südöstlich von M.ontreux am G.enfers.ee - L.ac L.éman im Kanton Waadt - Vaud der Schweiz.
.
.
.
Es ist eine der Wasserburgen der Schweiz und berühmt für seine Lage auf einem Felsen am U.fer des G.enfers.ees.
.
.
Mit 300'000 Besuchern pro Jahr ist es das meistbesuchte historische Gebäude der Schweiz.
.
.
Dank der reich gegliederten Bauform und der Lage am S.ee vor einer imposanten B.ergk,ulisse zählt das Monument seit dem 18. J.ahrhundert zu den beliebtesten landschaftlichen B.ildv,orlagen in der Westschweiz.
.
.
.
Die enge D.urchg,angss,telle bei der Burg zwischen dem S.ee und steil aufragenden B.ergen erleichterte die K.ontrolle der S.trasse von L.ausanne zum G.rossen S.t. B.ernh.ard und über den S.implonp,ass. An dieser Stelle lag im Mittelalter eine wichtige und
ertragreiche Z.olls.tation.
.
.
Der Felsen, den das Schloss Chillon vollständig einnimmt, war bereits in der B.ronzezeit bewohnt. Die ältesten noch heute sichtbaren Bebauungen stammen aus dem 11. Jahrhundert, als das Schloss dem B.ischof von S.itten ( französisch: S.ion ) gehörte.
.
.
Im 12. Jahrhundert ging das Schloss an die S.avoyer über. Aus dieser Zeit stammt die l.andseitige Burgm.auer ( unter T.homas I. von S.avoyen gebaut ) und die noch heute sichtbare Bauform mit mehreren I.nnenh.öfen. Einzelne Räume weisen eine hervor-
ragende Bauausstattung auf, die teilweise noch aus der Zeit der Savoyer stammt.
Auf der L.ands.eite der Festung ließ P.eter II. von S.avoyen bereits 1.2.5.5 drei halbrunde Türme bauen, die im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert weiter ausgebaut wurden und zur besseren Verteidigung S.chiesss.charten und G.ussl.öcher erhielten.
In die Mauern wurden W.ehrgänge eingebaut. Diese ständigen Umbauten lohnten sich:
Von hier konnte der der S.chiffsv.erkehr auf dem G.enfers.ee und der bedeutende L.andw.eg entlang des S.ees zum S.t.-B.ernh.ard - P.ass beherrscht und mit Z.öllen belegt werden.
Die Burg enthält grosse R.epräsentationsräume für f.estliche E.mpfänge, aber auch gemütliche W.ohnr.äume mit W.andm.alereien und alten K.aminen. Immerhin diente die
Burg den G.rafen von S.avoyen als Schlossr.esidenz. Jedoch nur bis zum Ende des 15. J.ahrhunderts, danach hielt nur noch ein B.urgv.ogt W.ache.
.
.
Das Schloss wurde 1.5.3.6 bei der Eroberung der savoyischen Waadt von den B.ernern eingenommen, nachdem sie 60 Jahre zuvor unverrichteter Dinge abziehen mussten.
Diesmal floh die Besatzung in den S.ee. Dabei befreiten die B.erner F.rancois B.onivard ( 1.4.9.6 - 1.5.7.0 ), den P.rior aus G.enf, der wegen seines E.intrettens für die R.eformation und die U.na.bhängigkeit G.enfs von den S.avoyern 6 Jahre zuvor eingekerkert worden war.
L.ord B.yrons berühmtes G.edicht - Der G.efangene von Chillon - befasst sich mit diesem T.hema, nachdem er 1.8.1.6 die Burg besucht hatte. ( Burg samt B.yron – B.ezug findet sich
dann noch einmal in A.ndersens E.isj.ungf.rau verarbeitet ).
Die S.äule, an die B.onivard jahrelang gekettet war, kann in den G.efängnisräumen an der S.eeseite der Burg besichtigt werden.
.
.
An die Zeit der b.ernischen H.errschaft erinnert bis heute das grosse, nur teilweise erhaltene, an der S.ees.eite der Burg auf die U.mf.assungsm.auer gemalte B.erner W.appen.
.
.
Nach der Eroberung war das Schloss bis 1.7.3.3 Sitz der Vögte von Chillon. Seit 1.7.9.8 ist es im Besitz des Kantons Waadt ( französisch: Vaud ), der es unter anderem als Z.eugh.aus, W.affenl.ager, I.nvalidenhos.pital und auch als G.efängnis benutzte.
.
.
Im 19. Jahrhundert wäre Chillon beinahe als S.teinb.ruch für den E.isenb.ahnb.au abgerissen worden, hätte nicht ein geschichtlich interessierter Abgeordneter dagegen protestiert.
.
.
Im frühen 20. Jahrhundert liess der Kanton in einem aufwändigen Restaurierungsprojekt einen historischen Zustand des Bauwerks wiederherstellen ( D.enkmalpflege ).
.
.
Die Burg erreicht man über eine H.olzb.rücke aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, welche damals eine Z.ugb.rücke ersetzte. Die gesamte Anlage besteht aus 25 Gebäuden, die sich um drei Höfe gruppieren, die von zwei R.ingm.auern geschützt werden.

Die La Suisse ist ein Schaufelraddampfer auf dem Genfersee. Das 1910 erbaute Schiff ist
der grösste Raddampfer der Schweiz.
Bis zur Inbetriebnahme des M.otorschiffes L.ausanne ( 1.9.9.1 ) war die La Suisse Flag-
gschiff der Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le lac Léman ( CGN ), welche die
Personenschifffahrt auf dem gesamten Genfersee betreibt. Noch heute verkehrt die La
Suisse als einer von fünf aktiven Raddampfern des Genfersees im Kursverkehr und gilt
als Flaggschiff der Belle - Époque - Dampferflotte der CGN.

Geschichte
***************************************************************************************************************
.
.
.
Im Jahre 1908 wurde der Bau eines neuen Dampfschiffes für den Genfersee beschlossen,
welches an Grösse und Komfort alle je auf einem Schweizer See verkehrenden Dampf-
schiffe übertreffen sollte. Erbaut wurde das Schiff von der Firma Sulzer in W.interthur.
1910 lief die La Suisse vom Stapel und wurde am 25. Mai desselben Jahres in den
Kursdienst aufgenommen.
Das Schiff hat über das Hauptdeck eine Länge von 73,80 m (Gesamtlänge 78 m), eine
Gesamtbreite von 15,90 Metern und einen mittleren Tiefgang (unbeladen) von 1,68
Metern. Angetrieben werden die zwei Schaufelräder von einer schrägliegenden Zwei-
Zylinder - Heissdampf - Verbund - maschine mit einer maximalen Leistung von 1.400 PS.
Die ursprüngliche Kapazität betrug 1500 Passagiere. Seit der letzten Renovation beträgt
die Kapazität des Schiffes 850 Personen, davon 254 Restaurantplätze.
Während des Z.weiten W.eltkriegs lag der Raddampfer still, wurde jedoch sorgfältig
konserviert. Seit 1960 wurden die ursprünglichen Dampfkessel nicht mehr mit Kohle,
sondern mit Schweröl beheizt. Gleichzeitig wurde das Schiff teilweise umgebaut.
Wegen Kesselschäden musste die La Suisse Ende 1.9.6.8 provisorisch ausser Dienst
gestellt werden, bis die alten Dampfkessel zusammen mit einer Grossrenovation des
gesamten Schiffes in den Jahren 1.9.7.0 – 1.9.7.1 durch einen neuen Dampfkessel er-
setzt wurden. 1.9.9.9 wurde der Brenner des Kessels ersetzt und auf leichtes Heizöl
umgestellt.
In den Jahren 2.0.0.7 – 2.0.0.9 erfolgte eine weitere Generalrenovation des Schiffs, bei
der unter anderem sein Äusseres wieder in den Originalzustand von 1910 zurückversetzt
wurde. Im J.uni 2.0.1.1 wurde die La Suisse zusammen mit den anderen Genfersee -
Schiffen der Belle Époque vom Regierungsrat des Kantons Waadt aufgrund ihrer
historischen Bedeutung unter Schutz gestellt.

On July 25, 2012, after I had cycled to Stratford and taken a tour around the south, the east and the north of the Olympic Park, I made my way south down Wansbeck Road on the border of Hackney Wick (E9) and Old Ford (E3), which runs beside the giant, ever-thundering A12, and took this photo looking east along the Hertford Union Canal, which runs from the Regent's Canal in the west and joins the Lee Navigation (the canalised River Lea) beyond the lock in this photo. The Lee Navigation runs along the western perimeter of the Olympic Park.
