The daughters accordingly secured the possession of the family estates. The eldest married M. de Cahuzac, and the youngest, who was taken as a babe from her mother's breast, married M. de St. Sardos; and the descendants of the latter still possess La Boissonade, which exists as an old château near Montauban.
Samuel de Péchels de la Boissonade had no fewer than thirty-eight dragoons and fusiliers quartered upon him.
The only good modern account of this expedition is that by M. Charles Bémont, La campagne de Poitou, 1242-3, in Annales du Midi, v., 389-314 . For the Lusignans see Boissonade, Quomodo comites Engolismenses erga reges Angliæ et Franciæ se gesserint, 1152-1328 . A minor result of Louis' triumph was the well-deserved ruin of Hugh of Lusignan and Isabella of Angoulême.
He assumed the name of his barony, La Boissonade, as was common in those days; and he acted as lieutenant in the company of La Fontain. The regiment, when completed, was at once despatched to the north of Ireland to join the little army of about ten thousand Protestants, who had already laid siege to and taken the fortified town of Carrickfergus.
Amongst them were Samuel de Péchels de la Boissonade and the Marquise de Sabonnières, his wife, who, in the midst of many trials and sorrows, preferred to do their duty to every other consideration. The family of De Péchels had long been settled at Montauban.
