Factlet first posted on November 5, 2006
From a copy of the parish records of the church of Saint-André-des-Arts, January 27, 1653 (BnF, ms. fr. 32589, p. 484):
Pierre Perrin, "éc[uyer], conseiller du Roy et me d'hotel ordinaire du Roy et de S.A.R." [Gaston d'Orléans] et "Elisabeth Grisson, widow of Pierre Bizet, conseiller du Roy en sa cour du Parlement, de la paroisse de St Sulpice. Led. mariage fait en lad. église par l'ordre de Mr l'official de [Paris] qui a dispensé de la publication des bans et des fiancailles en presence de Paris de la Vigne, bourgeois de Paris; Jean Jacqueteau, bourgeois de Paris; Claude Collinet, marchand de vin à Paris. Signé Paris de la Vigne, J. Jacquetot, Cl. Collinet.
Although he has been called "l'Abbé Perrin," Pierre Perrin clearly was not a cleric. And at the time of his marriage he was not Gaston's introducteur des ambassadeurs, but his maître d'hôtel.
At the time of Gaston's death in February 1660, Perrin was his introducteur and was owed 9,500 livres in wages (Arsenal, ms. 4213, fol. 12).
