RESEARCH note provided by Dr. Letter was sent to RAYOLLE, rec'd by him Dec 1773, a lawyer in Apt, a town not far from Sade's chateau in Lacoste. After being betrayed by Fage, Sade must have briefly thought about hiring RAYOLLE before choosing an old friend of his instead, GAUFRIDY, who remained his lawyer for the next 20 years. History from the books and notes available on the internet. FAGE was the legal representative for the Marquis de Sade, also for his Stepmother, Madame de Montreuil. Marq uis de Sade had escaped from prison in May 1773, he was on the run through Italy and Switzerland, before returning to Lacoste in December. It was at this time that he distrusted FAGE. Wrote this letter looking for a new legal representative.

A key letter in the life and times of the Marquis de Sade. I believe that RAYOLLE became a judge in the area; not sure though. Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade (2 June 1740 2 December 1814). , was a French aristocrat, revolutionary politician, philosopher, and writer, famous for his libertine sexuality. His works include novels, short stories, plays, dialogues, and political tracts; in his lifetime some were published under his own name, while others appeared anonymously, of which Sade denied being their author.

Sade is best known for his erotic works, which combined philosophical discourse with pornography, depicting sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence, criminality, and blasphemy against Christianity. He was a proponent of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion, or law. The words sadism and sadist are derived from his name. Sade was incarcerated in various prisons and an insane asylum for about 32 years of his life: 11 years in Paris (10 of which were spent in the Bastille), a month in the Conciergerie, two years in a fortress, a year in Madelonnettes Convent, three years in Bicêtre Asylum, a year in Sainte-Pélagie Prison, and 12 years in the Charenton Asylum.

During the French Revolution, he was an elected delegate to the National Convention. Many of his works were written in prison.
