Using archival materials and church charters from the province of
Anjou, Paul Marchegay provides a broad and comprehensive picture of
the history of this province of western France. In Volume 1,
published in 1853, the Anjou native and archivist of the province
makes use of three primary sources: the papers of the
eighteenth-century politician Armand-Thomas Hue, seigneur de Mirom
nil, a report on the land ownership, economic resources and social
conditions of the province made by the diplomat Charles Colbert de
Croissy (younger brother of Loius XIV's minister of finance), and
finally the medieval charters of Anjou. Marchegay ends this
compilation of historical documents on a curious note by
transcribing the records of various medieval court cases which were
settled by the ordeal of boiling water.
