KERCADO or CARCADO, Barony in Brittany where we found several monuments which give light on the old charge of Sénéchal, & particularly that of a Glebe or Fief attached to the dignity of Grand Sénéchal, to be inherited. This Land, called "Sénéchalie", was made up of the Châtellenies of Coëtniel, La Motte-Donon, Uxel, St. Caradec, Cadelac & Molac, and it formed with the other rights of the charge, an income of 3000 pounds per year. Those who polluted this Charge enjoyed it despite the revolutions in which Brittany changed Sovereigns, and bore only the name of Sénéchal, without wanting to add others, to mark their seniority & their preeminence.

This Charge passed from the Senior Branch of the Lords of Senechal Kercado, to the Houses of Treltimoël, Vicomte de Bignan, & de Rohan. A Charge illustrated by such great names, which united the administration of arms, justice & finances, that is to say, all the power, joined to the Fiefs & to the other revenues which were attached to it, made say to Dom Maurice, Benedictine favor, that it could not have been given in the early days except to Lords who were closely related by blood to the Sovereigns of Brittany.

Be that as it may, we find from the year 1078 a Donoald, Grand Sénéchal in the Domnonée. The elder Branch having died out in Jeanne le Sénéchal, who married Josselin de Trelrimoël, Vicomte de Bignan, & carried him the Charge of Grand Sénéchal with two thirds of the "Sénéchallie". The House was continued by Eon or Eudon the Seneschal, who formed the Branch of the Lords of Kercado. Eon le Sénéchal, son of Fraval II, by name, & younger brother of Olivier le Sénéchal IV, by name, shared the Lordship of St. Caradec & du Bol au Sénéchal who seized part of the Fiefdom called the "Sénéchallie". He married Olive, Lady of Kercado, heir to his name. This branch had as its leader the late Louis-Alexandré-Xavier the Sénéchal, Marquis de Kercado, Lord of Guedelisle, Vicomte de Loyat, & c. Lieutenant General of the King's Armies, married in 1733 to Marie-Anne Montmorency, of whom he has only two daughters, Marie-Anne le Sénéchal, married to Corentin-Joseph le Sénéchal, Marquis de Molac, & Marguerite-Louise-Françoise le Sénéchal, who married the Marquis de Grasse. The Marquis de Kercado left for brother Louis Gabriel the Sénéchal, Comte de Kercado, Chevalier de St. Louis, Maréchal de Camp, married in 1749, to Jeanne-Anne Poncét de la Riviere, only daughter of Pierre Poncet de la Riviere, President in the Parliament of Paris, Comte d'Ablis, & Louise-Françoise Bonaventure Lalay.

The Branch of the Sénéchal Molac recovered the title of Grand Sénéchal of Brittany by the marriage of Marie-Anne de Rosmadec, daughter & main heiress of Sébastien de Rosmadec II, of the name, Marquis de Molac, hereditary Sénéchal, with René le Sénéchal, Count of Kercado. This Branch remains in the person of Corentin-Joseph le Sénéchal, Marquis de Molac, who from his marriage to Marie-Anne le Sénéchal, has only one daughter.

Ensin, that of Sénéchal-Treduday or Kerguisec, is continued by Luc-Julien le Sénéchal, Lord of Kerguisec, of Thorinie, Cohanno, & c. Pensionary of the King for an injury he received in service. He has four boys & two girls from a first marriage, & a second, two boys & two girls. The arms of this House are azure with nine twins of gold.

Thebaud le Sénéchal, Chevalier, Seigneur de Kercado, commanded in Normandy the army of François I, Duke of Brittany, against the English, in which he won several advantages, as he can see by this Ordinance that the Duke had sent in his favor on October 11 1447.
"Let us order our friends and feales" Advisers, the People holding our general Assignments, to deliver the sum of fix hundred gold crowns to our Feal Chevalier Thebaud the Seneschal, Lord of Kercado, as a reward for the troops & warriors as said Chevalier has driven for our service in Normandy, & the value he has shown on many good & notable occasions.

Jean le Sénéchal, Gentleman of the Chamber of François I, Knight of the Order, was killed in front of this Prince at the battle of Pavia.

The Duke of Mercoeur, obstinate leaguer, destroyed the Castle of Kercado, and delivered to plunder all the other lands of François le Sénéchal, to avenge himself for the long and beautiful disense he had made there, & for the attachment of this Lord for Henry IV. This Prince erected the Lordship of Kercado in Barony, & granted it a market, as compensation, by his Letters of the month of July 1660. François le Sénéchal acted with as much zeal in the States of Brittany, & contributed much to detach the partisans of the Duke of Mercœur, the last of Henry IV's enemies, and the most difficult to reduce.

In 1704, Sébastien-Hyacinthe le Sénéchal, Chevalier de Kercado-Molac, for whom the Dauphin Infantry Regiment was created, was chosen to be commander-in-chief in Naples, and was in charge of political and military affairs there; jobs which he fulfilled to the satisfaction of the two Crowns of France & Spain, & which he obtained, being only a Brigadier at the age of 27, in consideration of the proofs he had already given of his intelligence & its value. He was killed Marshal de Camp at the siege of Turin in 1706.

Claude-Hyacinthe le Sénéchal, Marquis de Kercado his cousin, Colonel of the Foreign Dauphin Cavalry Regiment, Brigadier of the King's Armies, was killed at the same siege.

At the famous exit from Prague in 1742, René Alexis le Sénéchal, Marquis de Pontecroix & de Molac, Colonel of the Regiment of Berry Infanterie, was killed at the head of the Grenadiers of the army. This brave officer, wounded by seven deadly rifle shots, said falling to his Aide-Major;
“Menard, make the Grenadiers march & all my detachment on the left; the enemies go that way. "

He becomes brother of M. le Marquis de Molac, Marshal of Camp today, formerly Colonel of the Regiment of Périgord, whose memoir is known on a particular attack provision, proposed & detailed after the execution that he had his Regiment do it on a small scale in 1756. We see in this piece of tactics the genius, the observant spirit of an Officer distinguished by his lights. We felt it necessary to recall here interesting facts for a warlike nation, glorious for a House as old as it is illustrious, and capable of stimulating a generous emulation.
