Pierre de Piton was a French colonel of the 16th century, and an ambassador to the kingdom of Morocco. He was sent in 1533 by Francis I, initiating France-Morocco relations.〔"Francois I, hoping that Morocco would open up to France as easily as Mexico had to Spain, sent a commission, half commercial and half diplomatic, which he confided to one Pierre de Piton. The story of his mission is not without interest" in ''The conquest of Morocco'' by Cecil Vivian Usborne, S. Paul & co. ltd., 1936, p.33〕 Pierre de Piton sailed to Morocco to the harbour of Larache on the royal galleass ''Le Saint-Pierre'', equipped with 28 cannons, and captained by the Genoese Baptiste Auxyllia. Pierre de Piton was accompanied by 5 men, as well as French trader Hémon de Molon, who had brought enthusiastic reports from Morocco in a trip there in 1531-32, as well as a letter from the Sultan to Francis I. Following Pierre de Piton's embassy, in a letter to Francis I dated August 13, 1533, the Wattassid ruler of Fez, Ahmed ben Mohammed, welcomed French overtures and granted freedom of shipping and protection of French traders. France started to send ships to Morocco in 1555, under the rule of Henry II, son of Francis I.〔(''Travels in Morocco, Volume 2'' James Richardson p.32 )〕 The Genoese captain later betrayed Pierre de Piton during the time he was in Fes, by going to the Portuguese in Arzila and claiming that de Piton was selling weapons to the Sultan.〔"The captain, one Baptiste Auxyllia by name, forsook the ambassador and went over to Arzila, where he denounced Colonel de Piton to the Portuguese occupying the town, alleging that he had delivered contraband war supplies to the Sultan" in ''Ecrits de Paris: revue de questions actuelles'' Centre d'études des questions actuelles, politiques, économiques et sociales (Paris, France) - 1953 (in English)〕 ==Notes==
