The Guillouet d’Orvilliers family was from the Bourbonnais region. The family made strategic marriages with the most efficient military families of Rochefort, Charente-Maritime, and the French colonies in America. Gilbert's grandfather, Rémy Guillouet, seigneur d'Orvilliers, married Marie Lefèvre de La Barre, daughter of Antoine Lefèbvre de La Barre, first governor of Cayenne in the 17th century. This marriage led to Rémy Guillouet becoming governor of the colony at the start of the 18th century.

D'Orvilliers was then again head of the colony until 9 July 1738, when Antoine Lemoyne, seigneur de Chateaugué, took office as governor. Lemoyne, a naval commissary, was ordonnateur (head of civil administration) from 1738 to 1762. Lemoyne left for France in June 1743 and d'Orvilliers took over as head of the colony.

His son Charles Emmanuel III continued his reforms, and in 1762 he abolished all mainmorte on the royal estates and personal mainmorte on private estates. In 1771 he also abolished real-estate mainmorte on private estates. In this year he also declared that all duties of peasants towards their lords could be redeemed on terms to be set by negotiation between peasant and seigneur. If no agreement was reached, the duke himself would set the terms.

This condition kept the land from being sold by the seigneur, leading instead to its being sub-granted to peasant farmers, the habitants. When an habitant was granted the title deed to a lot, he had to agree to accept a variety of annual charges and restrictions. Rent was the most important of these and could be set in money, produce or labour. Once this rent was set, it could not be altered, neither due to inflation or time.

Though the demands of the seigneurs became more significant at the end of French rule, they could never obtain enough resources from the habitants to become truly wealthy, nor leave their tenants in poverty. Habitants were free individuals; seigneurs simply owned a "bundle of specific and limited rights over productive activity within that territory". The seigneur–habitant relationship was one where both parties were owners of the land who split the attributes of ownership between them.

Rent was typically set at an annual rate of 20 sols for every "arpent" of land. Seigneurs also received "lods et ventes" if habitants sold their land, which was equivalent to one-twelfth of the sale price. Another duty of habitants was to grind wheat at the seigneurial mill and pay a fee of one-fourteenth of the wheat ground. Some habitants also owed the seigneur one-thirteenth of the total amount of fish they caught.

In 1689, Gaultier's wife (the daughter of Pierre Boucher) ceded the island to their daughter Madeleine Le-Villier, and the island came to be called Île Madeleine. From 1690 to 1753, the island changed hands several times.

On his marriage in 1423, Richard became comte de Vertus-en-Champagne et de Bénon.

Richard became Count of Étampes in the right of his wife. She inherited the rights to the county from her father and was formally granted them by King Charles VII of France.

Division of the octave into 19 equal-width steps arose naturally out of Renaissance music theory. The ratio of four minor thirds to an octave (648:625 or 62.565 cents - the “greater diesis”) was almost exactly a nineteenth of an octave. Interest in such a tuning system goes back to the 16th century, when composer Guillaume Costeley used it in his chanson Seigneur Dieu ta pitié of 1558. Costeley understood and desired the circulating aspect of this tuning.

The canons then regrouped in the château de Cottun, not far from the abbey, returned to the abbey in 1894, only to be re-expelled in 1902.
