Died in 1366.
Captain of Périgord origin, nicknamed the Archpriest because he received the income of the archpriest of Vélines. With du Guesclin, he tried to drive the big companies out of France. In the service of Charles V, he commanded a contingent of the royal army sent to fight the Rovers in Burgundy, but was crushed by them near Lyons in 1362.
After having taken part in the battle of Cocherel in 1364, he took command in 1365 of the large companies which Urban V and Charles V had decided, to get rid of them, to send to fight the Turks in Hungary. It is a failure because they cannot cross Germany. Cervole was killed the following year in a quarrel with a man-at-arms, while he was once again trying to reassemble the road bands dispersed in Languedoc.
