Michael of the Desert Inheritance Case in Rouen Parliament
A 18th century narrative recounts Adam de Turville and the Count de Tourville family saga. Michael of the Desert, born to Adam’s wife after a private christening, rises from outsider to possessor of the Desert estate. Parliament of Rouen upholds the younger brother’s claim, granting Michael the estate and 35,000 livres a year despite solicitor lobbying.
