Commentary
Les armes d’Antoine Louis le Couteulx portent d’argent, au chevron de gueules, accompagné de trois trèfles de sinople. Les le Couteulx forment plusieurs branches au XVIIIe siècle dont l’une, le Couteulx du Molay, se retrouve dans les projets immobiliers parisiens. Notre personnage pourrait être Antoine le Couteulx de Verclives (1722 - 1810) fils d’Antoine et de Louise-Catherine Boüette.
Historical background
ROUEN (CITY OF...)
Former city of the Veliocasses, Rotomagus developed in Roman times and became the metropolis of Lyonnaise II at the end of the 4th century. Taken many times by the Normans, it became one of their main stations. In 911 it became the residence of the Dukes of Normandy. Commune in 1144, it belonged to France from 1204 to 1419, when it passed to the English until 1449. The Exchequer of Normandy was transformed into a sovereign court in 1499 then into Parliament in 1515. The city was under the Ancien Régime, a flourishing center of textile industries ("rouenneries" and Indians) and trade with Africa.
