Joyeuse[edit]

Joyeuse, the "sword of Charlemagne", is the sword of the King, not the sword of the constable, although it was presented to the constable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.30.101.74 (talk) 21:15, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Movies[edit]

I added the Henry V section to the film depictions of the Constable of France. The actor portraying the constable in this adaptation of Henry V is a major character, appearing in several key scenes and has a much dialog as any of the French characters, probably the most, therefore this is a significant depiction, I think. 67.207.132.184 (talk) 05:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of Field Marshal?[edit]

Why is Maréchal de camp translated as Field Marshall with two L's? Is this a spelling error, or is it proper in this context? 141.199.102.25 (talk) 14:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Persons subordinate to the Constable - the Lieutnant-general of the Realm[edit]

If, as the article says (and as I think it was), the Lieutnant-General of the Realm "served directly under the King", then he was not subordinate to the Constable of France ! I'm putting a self-contradiction banner on the article, but I'll wait for the input of more knowledgeable people to solve this. -Tovarich1917 (talk) 21:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relation[edit]

I am a descendent of the Gaucher family and I have noticed this "Gaucher de Châtillon (1249–1329), 1307–1329" I was wondering perhaps anyone has anymore information? I knew the first Gaucher was the son of a woman who was of royal blood. The story goes that his father took care of him because the mother was tossed by the family in some jail of some sort. The father never told Gaucher (named so, because he wrote with his left) that he was Gaucher's father. It was up until he died that a priest told him, since the priest heard from the Father during confession. I would love some more information about my family history, please and thank you. 208.92.136.109 (talk) 01:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate syntax: fr:Gaucher V de Châtillon. —Tamfang (talk) 01:29, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cardinal Richelieu a protestant?[edit]

when was the cardinal a protestant, and why did he abolish the constableship on his conversion? Tinynanorobots (talk) 03:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

François de Bonne was a Protestant. That sentence is oddly-worded, and probably not relevant for the opening paragraph. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:26, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why has Humphrey Stafford been willfully left off the Constable of France list?[edit]

Article name[edit]

Why has the article been moved to Grand Constable of France when it was never known by that title? In French the title was Connétable de France not Connétable Gran de France.Degen Earthfast (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

de Gaulle[edit]

Was sometimes semi-jokingly referred to as "the Constable of France", probably by Churchill as well as by others. Don't have a source to hand. Paulturtle (talk) 01:04, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
