Cervolle, Or Cenolc, Arnand De, a French freebooter, born in Perigord about 1300, died in 1300. He was called l'archipretre because he held a benefice of that grade at Verona, though not in orders. He was wounded and taken ' prisoner at the battle of Poitiers (1356); but having been ransomed he returned to France the next year, and raised a large band who pillaged the south of France in the name of the king, then a captive in England. He marched upon Avignon, at that time the residence of the pope, and compelled Innocent VI. to pay a large sum to save the property of the church from pillage. In 1359-'00 he was in the service of the dauphin; but resuming his career of freebooter, he forced the count of Nevers to enter into a treaty with him, and reentered the service of the dauphin, who had become king as Charles V., by whom he was appointed chamberlain. In 1305 he offered to lead his companies on a crusade against the Turks. He directed his march toward Hungary, but after traversing Champagne and Lorraine was stopped by the Germans at Metz, where he attempted to cross the Rhine. He then ravaged Alsace, but the peasants took up arms, and he was defeated in several encounters.

He went back to France, and according to some accounts was killed by one of his followers; but according to others he died a natural death in Lorraine.
