Milette

The Noble Tribe of Milette represented here by Lord Jason, Seneschal of Milette. The surname Milette was first found in Burgundy (French: Bourgogne), an administrative and historical region of east-central France where the family has been traced from ancient times. The family branched into Ile-de-France, Bourgogne, Dauphiné, Lorraine, Savoie, and they became the Barons of Challes and Barons of Faverges. Among the most recognized were: Theodore Millet, Colonel, who was named Knight of the Empire in 1810, then Baron of the Empire in 1813; Jean-François Millet (1814-1875), who was a talented painter, designer, and engraver. Today, parts of France are proud to be associated with such a dedicated family.
