Bohier coveted the field of Chenonceau for some time and supervised the ruin of the Marques family.

He makes buy in writing pads by Jacques of Beaune, several dependences of Chenonceau and various revenues made up on this ground in order to force Pierre Marques, by requiring the regularity of the payments, to sell one day his field principal.

• Of Jean of Fau, rider, 100 pounds
• De Macé Butterfly, 30 books
• Of Pierre and Foulques Marks, 100 pounds

April 27th, 1496, Jacques of Beaune makes a statement of command and uncovers Thomas Bohier who takes at once possession of Houdes and built a castle.

Bohier requires the payment of the revenues (352 pounds and 1 wheat muid). Pierre Marques was unable himself to pay must sell.

In 1506, the seigniory of Chenonceau is seized and allocated to Aymar de Prie. Nonglad not to have been able to acquire this field, Thomas Bohier asks the Parliament to break this decision.

In 1506, the seigniory of Coulommiers is seized on Damoiselle Claire de Clermont and is allocated to Bohier for 1  450 pounds

In 1507, Bohier buys the stronghold of Juchepie (320 pounds) with Francueil.

In February 1514, the seven strongholds bought by Bohier are joined together in châtellenie by letters patent of Louis XII. This new statute gives feudal obligations as well as the annual payment of a revenue of 25 pounds. To satisfy this obligation, Bohier buys with the bishop Meaux a revenue of 26 pounds which it perceives on the recepte Chinon.
