Jean Poldo d'Albenas

Jean Poldo d’Albenas (1512–1563) was the King's Counsel in Nîmes (France), and contributed to the spread of Calvinism in his home town of Nîmes. He produced, among other works, a Discours historial de l’antique et illustre cité de Nismes (1557) in French, which his contemporaries apparently found difficult to read; it is considered to contain useful research material for historians.[1] He was also a lawyer at the Parliament of Toulouse.
