Here the description of Pierre of the Hospital made in " BRETON COMPANIONS OF the CONSTABLE DE RICHEMONT" By Julien-All Saints' day-Marie TREVEDY at the time of an embassy in Angers carried out by the count de Richemont brother of the Duke of Brittany Jean V:

" But, some lower lines, it shows us another character accompanying the Count de Richemont: it is Pierre of Hospital, chair and universal Juge of Brittany. For more than twenty years, it has sat at the States “out of royal robes”, i.e. out of dress of crimson, holding the first place after the duke, before the marshal and the admiral of Brittany. It will still occupy this eminent situation during nearly twenty years; and it is him which, in 1440, will condemn to fire Gilles of Laval-Retz “any Marshal of France which it was” "

The Blason of the family of the Hospital is: Of money to the band of mouths, accompanied as a chief by a sand merlette and charged with a cock with the field, becqué, crested and bored geules. (Armorial d' Hozier).
