Angoumoisball

Angoumoisball is an old French province, located between Limousinball in the east, Perigordball in the south, Saintongeball in the west, and Poitouball in the north.

It corresponds to the central part of the present department of Charenteball. It also included some parishes of the present department of Deux-Sèvresball (Pioussay, Hanc and Bouin, from the Marquisate of Ruffec), The Haute-Vienneball (Oradour-sur-Vayres, Cussac, Dournazac, among others) as well as the Dordogneball (La Tour-Blanche).

History
This province was established on the territory of the Gallo-Roman civitas of Iculisma, the present Angoulême. It included the following countries: Ruffecois, Horte and Tardoire and part of the Confolentais, and, together with Cognac, belonged to the possession of the house of the Valois-Angouleme when they acceded to the throne of France. Its boundaries are variable, like most other provinces, depending on whether one considers its different administrations:
 * The diocese of Angouleme, erected since the 2nd century, limited by those of Limogesball, Périgueuxball, Saintesball and Poitiersball. It extends over some parishes and hamlets of these. It does not seem to have been reworked, from its first establishment, until the end of the eighteenth century.
 * His military government: After being part of the government of Orleans, he joined the Saintongeball to form a single government, comprising a single governor, a provincial lieutenant-general, and a lieutenant of the king.
 * Its civil government, commonly called the province, which extends over the whole territory subject to the custom of the country; It is the senechaussée, invented in the light of the customs observed in the same territory. The custom of the country was drafted by royal authority, at the invitation of Louis XII, and published on October 10, 1514, under 10 titles containing 121 articles.

Key dates in its history:
 * Its administration of finances: it comprises 2 elections, that of Angoulême, which depends on the generality of Limoges, and that of Cognac, which depends on the generality of La Rochelleball.
 * Constitution of the city of Angoulême at the end of the fourth century
 * Unification with Périgord and Agenais in the ninth century and became a county in 866
 * At the height of his power in the tenth and eleventh centuries (Guillaume III Taillefer and Guillaume IV)
 * The county became the object of a rivalry between the princely dynasties of the Plantagenets and the Capetians. Jean sans Terre removes the very young Isabelle d'Angoulême, the only daughter of Aymar Taillefer, count of Angoulême, in 1200. The king of France, Philippe Auguste, pronounces the confiscation of his continental properties (1202) which triggers hostilities (See in particular John of England).
 * The county was incorporated into the Kingdom by Philippe Le Bel in 1308. It passes in the hands of the English in 1360 and is taken again in 1373. But the English will remain there episodically until 1445, particularly in the fortresses of La Rochandry and Bouteville.
 * The Angoumois was erected as a duchy peerage in February 1515 by Francis I; It then became a royal and domanial fief, a true patrimony of kings.
 * Peasant revolts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (taxes, misery, wars of religion, revocation of the Edict of Nantes)
 * Became a generality in 1692 in order to better control the collection of the tax.

Literature
The term Angoumois is long used in everyday language. One finds it especially in the novels of Honore de Balzac. The Angoumois, from where Lucien de Rubempré and Madame de Bargeton originate, is the backdrop for the first and third parts of Illusions perdues (1836-1843) Splendours and miseries of the courtesans (1847).
