In the 15th century, the Frapin and Rabelais families forged a strong bond that evolved over time. Several marriages attest to this, including the famous union of Antoine Rabelais and Anne-Catherine Frapin in 1480. From their union, François Rabelais (1494-1553) was born, who expressed the deep connection between the two families in the prologue of his Quart Livre: 'In Angiers there was at that time an old uncle, Lord of Saint George, named Frapin: he is the one who composed the beautiful and joyful Christmas carols in the Poitevin language.
