Book Exert - Translated

Fayet later passed into the hands of the Rodes, who owned it in the 15th century. Several knights of this house stood out in Fomoue, in Ravenna, in Céri solles. On February 6, 1543, noble Pierre Rodes, who had married in Domhes, where he retired, sold the old residence to Arthaud Maniquet, squire, captain of Avallon.

His son Hector replaced the present castle in the feudal tower. Guy Allard ensures that the Maniquets came from Italy in 1480.

Arthaud owed to the credit of his son to be invested with the office of king's butler, an office then important and much sought after by the nobility. He had married Hélène Cheminade in 1590, of whom he had, in addition to Hector, who formed the subject of this article, Jean, who tested, in 1559, in favor of the Reformed Church of La Buissière.

Twice, in 1573 and 1578, Éléonor, Duke of Longueville, passed (Hector) a power of attorney to settle various interests. A testimony of confidence of an otherwise delicate nature was granted to him by the sovereign himself.

Chateau n du Fayet was honored with the birth of the Duke of Angouléme.

Charles de Maniquet, Lord of Fayet, had married Élisabeau de Chaponnay, of whom he had, among other children, Prosper who follows.

Prosper de Maniquet, lord of Fayet, captain in the Richelieu regiment, maintained in 1667 in his nobility by the intendant of the province, married Marie-Virginie Romain de Rivolles, whose family still exists in Tullins.

Hector-Alexis de Maniquet, lord of Fayet, captain of cavalry in the Bourbon regiment, was the son of Prosper. He married Louise-Charlotte Perrenot de Grandvelle, who bore the name of an illustrious Franc-Comtoise house.

They had a son, Georges-Hercule-Louis, knight of Saint-Louis, to whom his wife, Marianne Durand de la Châtre, did not give no posterity. He died in 1763. The inventory made after his death shows us that the pecuniary situation of the Maniquets had fallen well since Hector.
The Fayet castle was acquired by the Marquis Planeili de la Valette, who sold it soon after.
