This was the estate that Count Pierre d'Alençon had given to Jacques Le Gris. By marrying Marguerite de Thibouville, who at the time was described as 'young, beautiful, good, sensible and modest,' Jean de Carrouges hoped to inherit the valuable estate of Aunou-le-Faucon that had been previously owned by Marguerite's father.

Though actor Adam Driver is more than ten years younger than Matt Damon, who is in his early fifties, the real Le Gris and Carrouges were both in their mid-fifties and approximately the same age. This made Carrouges jealous of Le Gris and they became rivals on the court.

Le Gris also inherited his father's lordship of the castle at Exmes. The Count rewarded Le Gris' service on the court with a newly purchased estate at Aunou-le-Faucon. In researching The Last Duel's historical accuracy, we learned that Le Gris brought in more money and was educated, making him more valuable to the court. However, after both men joined the court circle of their new overlord, Count Pierre d'Alençon, their friendship deteriorated when the Count began to favor Jacques Le Gris (played by Adam Driver) and overlooked Jean de Carrouges (portrayed by Matt Damon). As indicated earlier, the two men were initially neighbors and friends.

Were Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris friends before they became rivals? Ben Affleck's character, Count Pierre d'Alençon, was a real person who was the overlord of Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris.
