I am not sure where you are going with all these reams of geneological notes on noble families with the name or variation thereof of Vieville: we are discussing a cardmaker of whom we know nothing excepting his name was recorded as a cardmaker on several occassions over a limited period in Paris - I find it harder to imagine a noble background for him than, for example, influence of an Italian model as reflected in terms such as MA[T], BAGA[T] & SOL FAMA, and images consistent with some North Italian ones, such as Bologna --

If you want to look for a tree, better through the Parish records of ordinary people, than the coats of arms of the nobility?

https://books.google.de/books?id=0_xfAA ... le&f=false

The both regions are located between Paris and Reims.
Definitely this was a reason for celebration in the Vieuville family.
From https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php? ... opic&sr=50
"Family and issue
La Vieuville married Marie Bouhier de Beaumarchais in 1611. Marie was the daughter of Vincent Bouhier, seigneur de Beaumarchais and held the titles of dame de Nogent-l'Anaud and baronne de Saint-Martin de Blois. She had a sister, Lucrèce, who was married to Nicolas de L'Hôpital."
So we see, that the new duchy "Vieuville" in 1651 was made from territory, that his wife has brought to the family.

********************

As a roughly timeline I have for the moment:
1623: A group of persons, which seems to be near to the mother of Louis XIII, arranged, that the current man for the finances, Henri of Schomburg, lost his position. Instead Vieuville became a sort of ministre for finances.
1624: A group guided by cardinal Richelieu influenced the king, that Vieuville is taken to Ambroise)
1625: After a year Vieuville escapes to the Spanish Netherlands.
1650 - 1653: Vieuville back at the scene of success ... in France.

Vieuville's life is embedded in the complicated relationship between King-mother Maria de Medici and her son Louis XIII, which is a long story, with Maria finally emigrating also to the Spanish Netherlands (around 1630), also to England and finally to Cologne, where she died 1642.

From Maria we may assume, that she loved Tarocchi, as she loved Italian influence on the French court. From Louis
XIII we know, that he hated Italian influence on the French court, and we may suspect, that he also didn't like Tarocchi.
From this we possibly can conclude, that Vieuville, too, had a good relation to the Tarocchi game, cause he had some positive relation to the King-mother.

I don't know much about Vieuville's time between 1625-1650 (for the moment), but I got a note from an autobiography of this lady "Anne de Gonzague de Clèves" ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Gonzaga

.. that she played a sort of intrigue to make Vieuville ministre des finances again (which indeed happened in 1650).

This Lady was the younger sister of the one Gonzaga daughter, who in 1637 ordered the Tarot rules from Marolles, and from this condition one may assume, that she probably also had a good relation to the game.
So again one may conclude, that also Vieuville had a good relation to Tarot.

1651-1653 : Charles de La Vieuville, marquis puis duc de La Vieuville
1653-1659 : Nicolas Fouquet ; Abel Servien


I've to study this a little bit. Francois d'O (where I started the list) was (likely) a relative to Charles de la Vieuville, from which Vieuville learned about finances. The ancestor Robert de la Vieuviel was married to a Mademoiselle d'O.
Catherine d'O de Vérigny (née en 1555, morte avant le 6 juin 1611), veuve de Michel de Poisieu, (était mort le 13/4/1580).

Thanks for this resource.

I think, that there is a relation between the cardmaker Vieville and the noble family Viefville - Vieuville - Vieville. Naturally I don't know which.

I have not much time now. The relation between Vieuville nobility and cardmaker Vieville might have been a humble one. Perhaps Vieville simply admired the Vieuville and their return to success ... and that's all. Perhaps the Vieville deck is a 2nd or 3rd generation of a much more beautiful deck. This are possibilities to consider.

Jacques was a Jurist ( Juré ) too? So what sort of qualifications did one require to be a Jurist in 17th century France - perhaps that tells us something at least of his level of education?
I think it just means he is an elected Jurist of his trade? That is, one chosen to enforce the by-laws of the cardmakers, and perhaps to represent them? And perhaps also one to whom an apprentice or compagnon must admit work examples to be judged qualified to become Masters (of their trade) ?

Les candidatures à la maîtrise sont posées devant le corps des maîtres et jurés du métier, qui favorisent les fils de maîtres et se montrent très rigoureux, semble-t-il, en certains métiers, pour l'admission de ceux qui ne le sont pas.

The candidatures for the master's degree are laid before the body of the teachers and jurors of the profession, who favor the sons of masters and seem to be very rigorous, it seems, in certain trades, for the admission of those who are not.

So cardmaking was considered a Juried trade, and Vieville was both a Master and a Juror for the cardmakers (of Paris) --

There were rules with the taxes ...

Franco has a report to the conditions in Florence, written 1990.
Beginning with 1630, an auction was held every five years in order to assign the concession of
collecting the taxes on playing cards; this procedure went to the 1780s, when the administration
kept the whole subject under its own control. Thus, after 1630, taxes on playing cards were no more
directly collected by the administration. Correspondingly, in the official books of the revenue
information is only found about concession holders and no longer about card makers. However,
concession holders commonly were the card makers themselves; one or two of them often won the
auction for holding the concession in next five-year period, other card makers of same or different
family warranted to the revenue.
The amount that the contractors had to give to the administration was generally paid by monthly
instalments. Therefore we have in the official books long lists of records for these single payments.
If things went smoothly, the only additional information that we usually obtain is the name of the
person actually bringing the money each month. This was often the concession holder himself, but
sometimes he distributed the task among those card makers who were indebted to him. It is by these
records, for instance, that we can assess that Antonio MARCHIONNI had become the most active
among the various Florentine card makers during the second half of the 17th century.
.... there's more: http://www.naibi.net/A/48-FLOMAK2-Z.pdf

I don't know, how they ruled it in Paris.
