Fireplace Plate With Alliance Arms By Adrien Du Bosc De Vitermont (77x93 Cm)

Fireback, dated 1698, from the 17th century (1643-1728) and from Catherine De La Luzerne (? -1720) married on November 13, 1685. Adrien du Bosc de Vitermont was lieutenant in the regiment of the French guards in 1670. Louis XIV, in consideration of the services that this warrior had rendered him during twenty years in the first company of his musketeers, reconstituted for him in 1707, the barony of Garancières. Adrien du Bosc de Vitermont, lord of Coquereaumont, de Queutteville, baron de Garancières, descended from Nicolas du Bosc, knight of France. Adrien brought together in his hand the barony of Garancières as it was before the partition had been made by the Marquis de Beuzeville (father of Catherine De La Luzerne), who had given Grosseuvre to his daughter. They fixed their residence at the castle of Grosseuvre since their marriage. This plaque comes from the Château de Grossoeuvre in Eure in Normandy, extracted by the grandson of the account of Gournay, former owner of the castle from 1955 to 2005.
