René Madec, an illiterate Breton sailor, blossomed forth into a partisan captain in India, and even after many defeats and losses here he carried back with himself to France enough wealth to buy a patent of nobility from the French king and some landed estates (seigneuries) and to build a castle for his exalted residence. He came to be known as the Nawab. (É. Barbé, *Le Nabab René Madec*, 278.)
