Jean Poldo d'Albenas

Jean Poldo d’Albenas was the King's Counsel in Nîmes, and contributed to the spread of Calvinism in his home town of Nîmes.

He produced, among other works, a Discours historial de l’antique et illustre cité de Nismes in French, which his contemporaries apparently found difficult to read; it is considered to contain useful research material for historians. He was also a lawyer at the Parliament of Toulouse.
