I have learned that Robespierre rarely hosted and met a former monk in the house of Duplay... Who is this monk?

Extra bonus question: how many friends this family had? Because I know only about Buonarroti and the family doctor (I forgot his name).

Do you mean Christophe-Antoine Gerle? He was born November 25 1736 and became an abbot in the 1770s. In 1789 he was elected substitute deputy for the clergy of Riom to the Estates-General, and then became a deputy in the National Assembly. He came to support the revolution, the jacobins and the Civil Constitution of the Clergy and is even one of the people depicted in David’s famous painting of the tennis court oath (though it’s unlikely Gerle was actually present for it). On April 12 1790 he proposed a motion decreeing ”that the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religion is and remains forever the religion of the nation and its worship will be the only authorized one.” It was supported by some and combatted by others. Gerle eventually retired this motion, after which he spoke only one more time, on December 27 1790.

On May 17 1794, Gerle was arrested alongside Catherine Théot, whose circle he belonged to. On June 15, following a report by Vadier, the Convention ordered the indictment of them and their accomplices. Robespierre intervened so that the affair was put down, but Gerle nevertheless remained in prison until 1795. Once released, he went on to write for the journal Messanger du soir, and then worked for the ministry of interior before dying somewhere towards 1805.

As for his Robespierre connection, Gerle wrote while in prison that, during ”the terror” he went home to Robespierre and obtained a certificate from him that went as follows: “I confirm that Dom Gerle, my colleague in the Constituent Assembly, marched in the true principles of the Revolution and always appeared patriotic to me.” At this time, according to Gerle, he and Robespierre hadn’t seen each other for 18 months, but the latter evidently still remembered the former from the National Assembly. Gerle writes that he then went home to Robespierre six or seven times again after that, but that Robespierre received him only two times, in the presence of his wig maker and others. This, he stated (after thermidor, it should be admitted) made up all his connections to Robespierre. Élisabeth Lebas’ son Philippe similarily attested that his mother saw Gerle only two or three times at her place. Curiously, however, the minutes for 1789-1790 of the Jacobin Club list Gerle as living on Rue Saint-Honoré 366, in other words the exact same adress as the Duplay house, during said years. It’s possible he lodged in the room Robespierre later came to inhabit, moving out before Robespierre moved in. 

(I’ve based the above text on this short biography on Gerle by Francisque Mège (1865))

There’s also François Chabot (1756-1794), a former munk who at the outbreak of the revolution, like Gerle, chose to embrace the Civil Constitution of the Clergy and co-founded the Jacobin Club of Rodez. In 1791 he was elected for the Legislative Assembly, and one year later to the National Convention, where he sat with the far left. On August 24 1793, the finance commission on which he sat was tasked with overseeing the liquidation of the East India Company, a task which would mean the beginning of the end for Chabot and a few of his commission collegues (I’ve already talked about the East India Company Scandal and the role played by Chabot in it here). 

However, Chabot only went to see Robespierre at the Duplays one (confirmed) time that I know of. It was on November 14 1793 in order to tell him about the corruption in which his commission had been involved, hoping to save himself by throwing his partners in crime under the bus. According to some authors this meeting took place super early in the morning and Chabot stormed into Robespierre’s room and dragged him from bed, but idk the source for those details. However, Chabot was arrested just three days later to never regain freedom, instead going on to be executed on April 5 1794 alongside the dantonists and other members of the commission implicated in the scandal. He did however write several letters to Robespierre while imprisoned.

As for how many friends the Duplays had, that’s impossible to answer exactly. In her old days, the family’s youngest daughter Élisabeth corrected a list of people who would frequent the house during the revolution:

The Lamenths and Pétion in the early days, quite rarely Legendre, Merlin de Thionville and Fouché, often Taschereau, Desmoulins and Teault, always Lebas, Saint-Just, David, Couthon and Buonarotti.

As most of these were Robespierre’s collegues, it can be assumed they came to the Duplays mainly to see him, so it’s hard to know how many of them were friends of the family as well. We of course know that Lebas went on to marry Élisabeth, and, being interrogated after Thermidor, Maurice Duplay claimed that he would also frequently dine with the entire family. Saint-Just, Maurice added, didn’t dine as often, instead preferring to go straight to Robespierre’s room without talking to anyone, although Élisabeth still claimed to have been good friends with him, and that SJ would look after her while they were on a mission together. In a letter to Maurice Duplay dated October 6 1791, Robespierre prayed him to ”remind me of Lacoste and Couthon” suggesting Maurice was on good enough terms with those two. There’s also the claim that Couthon actually lodged with the Duplays for a while when first moving to Paris in 1791, but curiously, in the first letter Couthon writes after arriving in Paris, he says he’s found lodging on rue Saint-Honoré, not under the roof of Duplay but of one M. Girot. The Almanach royal for 1792 also gives Couthon’s address as 343, not 366, rue St. Honoré… Finally, on June 28 1792, Lucile Desmoulins reported the following in her diary: ”I went with C(amille) and little Duplay (most likely Jacques-Maurice Duplay, the son of the family who at the time was 14-15) to a an old madwoman’s.” These are all traces of relationships I’ve been able to find between the Duplays and the above listed visitors.

In his Robespierre (1935), J.M Thompson, after first citing Élisabeth’s list, also brings up another long one, containing people that, according to him, frequented the house ”with more or less certainty”:

Pierre Vaugeois, Mme Duplay’s brother, and his friend Didier, a locksmith; Gravier, a distiller from Lyon, who lodged with Didier next door; Cietti, an Italian designer of wallpapers, with whom Duplay doubtless had business relations; Lohier, the Duplays’ grocer; Nicolas, the government printer, whose press was at No. 355; Franchele-Hausse and Souberbielle, both of whom claimed the title of ‘family doctor’; a Corsican cobbler from Arras, named Calandini; Boisset, the archiviste of the Jacobin Club; the artist Gérard, whose portrait of Robespierre hung in the sitting-room; Felix Lepelletier, son of the deputy; and Dom Gerle, whose compromising friendship contributed to Robespierre’s fall. In addition to these, Anthoine, the mayor of Metz, lodged with the Duplays in the summer of 1792; as did also a M. de Broc, a Norman gentleman, with his wife and two small children, under an assumed name, and venturing out only after dark. The list could doubtless be enlarged: it is sufficiently suggestive, as it stands, of the catholic hospitality of the Duplays, and of the variety of persons and interests with which Robespierre, in this quiet middle-class household, was brought into contact. It was a sheltered life, but it was not a narrow one.

As for these, I know Souberbielle confessed to have been Robespierre’s doctor and a frequent guest of the Duplay house. It is also Souberbielle that told the story about M. de Broc and his family lodging with the Duplays. As for Calandini, Lebas asks Élisabeth to embrace him for him in a letter dated August 16 1793. The rest I couldn’t find anything about.

Edit: on December 5 1793 Collot d’Herbois wrote a friendly letter to Maurice Duplay while in Lyon, suggesting the family was on good terms with him as well.

(Francis I) appears to have met Anne de Pisseleu d’Heilly on his return to France in 1526, and, soon afterwards, she was acknowledged as his favourite mistress. Her rise to political actor, however, did not begin until about 1538–1539, and she becomes a central figure in 1540–1541, when ambassadors to France, charged with keeping their lords up to date on François I’s attitude toward Henry VIII and Charles V, began to solicit her alongside other highly ranked contacts. Etampes’s credit only grew throughout the final years of the king’s life: in 1542 papal nuncio Dandino reports that the king was “completely in the thrall of Madame d’Étampes...”. By 1545, imperial ambassador St. Mauris complains to Charles V that Protestants at the French court were receiving great favour because Madame d’Étampes “inclines to the Lutheran discipline.” In October 1546, Étampes was still attempting to mediate an agreement between the English and the king, convinced that François I would break with the pope if Henry VIII would make the first move. Throughout her tenure, she performed her role as lady-in-waiting to Queen Eleanor of Austria with irreproachable deference.

Tracy Adams, "Agnes Sorel and the French Monarchy" / David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"

Anne’s political influence and her role in influencing the king during the 1540s are no longer in doubt. Her relations with the king’s close advisers Anne de Montmorency (1493–1567), Philippe Chabot de Brion (1492–1543), Claude  Annebault (1495–1552), and François de Tournon (1489–1562) were pivotal in the last decade of the king’s reign...The Imperial ambassador in 1541 reported that no councillor dared approach the king about anything without checking first with Madame d’Étampes if she approved it. The following year, though the king was with the army in Languedoc, dispatches from the front in Flanders were forwarded to her at Lyons. Her intervention in the appointment of Jean du Bellay as Archbishop of Bordeaux in 1544 was widely commented on at the time. In this period she employed the standard political tactics of a Renaissance politician: the placement of friends and allies at court, many drawn from her extensive kindred on her father’s side and from the relatives of her mother, the Sanguins. Her status is reflected by her inclusion — as the only non-royal woman — in a series of fifty or so woodcuts created by Hans Liefrinck the elder at Antwerp, which included the most powerful dynastic figures of the day."

[fideidefenswhore]

When Elizabeth was born in 1533, she was considered the only legitimate heir to the throne, and Henry VIII very soon began to consider the most appropriate husband for her. Pope Clement VII's diplomat, [the] Bishop of Faenza, wrote that he thought [...] 'this last daughter may be mistress of England' [and] 'England's policy will probably depend upon the decision about the marriage' for Elizabeth. The husband Henry wanted for his daughter in these very early years was [François] I's third son, Charles, Duke of Angoulême. [François I] was interested in the prospect and sent Philippe de Chabot, Admiral de Brion, to negotiate. But Henry had many demands. He wanted [François] to pressure Pope Clement to recognize the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and to acknowledge the legitimacy of his marriage to Anne Boleyn. Henry also insisted the Duke, then about thirteen years of age, be raised in England. [François] objected and the negotiations fell apart.

Le Coup de Jarnac

Like any duel worthy of the name, the one whose memory is marked by a plaque affixed on the terrace of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye castle hides an affair of women. At the end of François I’s reign, rivalries are rife at the Valois court. The most resounding opposes the Duchess of Etampes, née Anne de Pisseleu, "the most beautiful of scholars and the most learned of the beautiful", the old king's mistress, to Diane de Poitiers, mistress of the Dauphin, future Henri II. By his marriage in 1540 to the duchess' sister, Guy Chabot, future baron of Jarnac, de facto belongs to the Pisseleu faction and soon finds himself under the crossfire of the two favorites.

Guy Chabot de Jarnac

The Dauphin and Diane's entourage thus spread the rumor that Chabot owes his elegant outfits to the shameful favors he lavishes on his stepmother, Madeleine de Puyguyon. When Chabot seeks justice for this slander, it is François de Vivonne, lord of La Châtaigneraie, loyal to the Diane and Henri clan, who takes responsibility for it and agrees to duel against him. Their request is submitted to the king, but the latter, suspecting "quarrels of jealous women", ends up refusing them.

The affair does not stop there. From the death of François I (March 31, 1547), Vivonne insists on having a fight against Chabot with the new Henri II, who grants his permission. The measure was not trivial: the ban on judicial dueling in the kingdom dates back to an ordinance of Saint Louis in 1261. It's hard to imagine that Henri II did not want to bury, in every sense of the word, an affair that was embarrassing for him: a true athlete, François de Vivonne was known as the best swordsman in the kingdom. The meeting left little chance for his opponent.

Aware of the danger he faces, Chabot carefully prepares thanks to the lessons of Captain Casi *, an Italian fencing master who teaches him an unprecedented backhand stroke. After two months where are detailed one by one its thousand arrangements, the duel is set for July 10, 1547. That day, the weather is bright in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The Constable of Montmorency had a courtyard of the castle transformed into an enclosed field surrounded by stands, where the court takes place with the king. A big favorite of the overexcited audience and sure of himself, Vivonne strikes Chabot with a violent attack, which his adversary manages to block with his rondache. He fires back a first time, then strikes Vivonne the blow of the Italian spadassin and deeply splits the back of his knee. Nailed into place, Vivonne soon collapses in a stream of blood, to the amazement of the audience.

Several times, Chabot begs Henri II to grant life to the vanquished. Having remained silent for a long time, the king finally spoke: "You have done your duty, Jarnac, and you have been given back your honor. Let the Lord of La Châtaigneraie be taken away. ” Troubling coincidence: Henri II, who had shown very little courage in the circumstances, was killed twelve years later to the day in another singular fight, the famous tournament which opposed him to Gabriel de Montgommery. As for Vivonne, humiliated by his failure, he tore off his bandages in a fit of fury and died the day after a nervous breakdown. Sad end for the one who paid the price for a move whose secret nature remains fundamentally questionable. In his Discours sur les duels, Brantôme - Vivonne's own nephew - thus recalls that during another duel a few years earlier, a gentleman "had the back of the knee cut, from which he remained crippled and lame all his life". For posterity, the blow of Jarnac became anyway the symbol of the violent and unforeseen blow.

This is the case until the publication of the Dictionnaire de Trévoux, which defines it in its 1771 edition as "what is always taken in bad part, for an unexpected turn which ruins someone or destroys fortune ”. It is this sense of treacherous or disloyal blow that the expression has often retained, despite Littré's efforts a century later: “This blow was found to be very clever and provided a proverbial expression, which took on an odious meaning; but ib this the custom is wrong, for the coup de Jarnac was nothing but loyal, and the duel took place in all the rules of honor. ”

It has been pointed out that Chabot had gone over to Protestantism a few years after his legendary duel and that the Trévoux dictionnary was the work of the Jesuits, the spearhead of the Counter-Reformation. So should we see there a ... blow of Jarnac? As for the eponymous barony, it is indeed the current commune of Charente where François Mitterrand was born and rests. That's enough to reconcile the two meanings. Or see it as proof that history takes advantage of all coincidences.

IL PLEUVAIT DES OISEAUX en tête des nominations du Gala Québec Cinéma 2020

En direct du salon de Guillaume Lambert, les nominations du Gala Québec Cinéma (qui ne fera pas l’objet d’un rassemblement télévisuel cette année, confinement oblige) ont été dévoilées cet après-midi.

En cette année dominée par les réalisatrices, 6 des meilleurs films sont réalisés par des femmes et 3 femmes sont en lice pour l’Iris de la Meilleure réalisation.

On parle bien sûr d’Antigone de Sophie Deraspe (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), La femme de mon frère de Monia Chokri  (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation), Kuessipan de Myriam Verreault (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), Jeune Juliette d’Anne Émond (Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario), Il pleuvait des oiseaux  et Louise Archambault (Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario, et 13 nominations au total, le record cette année), et du plus inattendu Fabuleuses de Mélanie Charbonneau (Meilleur film).

Ces films réalisés par des femmes sont rejoints dans les catégories de pointe par les « films de gars » Mafia Inc de Podz (Meilleur film), Sympathie pour le diable de Guillaume de Fontenay (Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), et  Le vingtième siècle de Matthew Rankin  (Meilleur premier film, Meilleure réalisation).

Un grand oublié : Xavier Dolan, qui a lancé deux longs métrages l’an dernier. On ne s’attendait pas à un couronnement du mal-aimé The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, mais l’excellent Matthias & Maxime aurait mérité plus d’honneurs. Il est quand même en nomination dans les catégories Meilleure interprétation féminine dans un rôle de soutien (Micheline Bernard), Meilleure interprétation masculine dans un rôle de soutien (Pier-Luc Funk), Meilleure direction de la photographie (André Turpin), Meilleur montage (Xavier Dolan), Meilleure musique originale (Jean-Michel Blais) et Meilleur maquillage (Erik Gosselin, Edwina Voda).

Du côté des interprètes, je suis soulagé que mon long métrage québécois préféré depuis longtemps, Le rire de Martin Laroche, ait été au moins reconnu pour les brillantes performances de Léane Labrèche-Dor (Premier rôle féminin) et Micheline Lanctôt (Rôle de soutien féminin).

Il faut aussi souligner les deux nominations comme acteur de Robin Aubert, pour Jeune Juliette (Premier rôle masculin) et Merci pour tout (Rôle de soutien masculin).

Et une pensée pour Andrée Lachapelle, qui nous a quittés récemment, nommée comme Meilleure actrice pour Il pleuvait des oiseaux.

Parlant d’Il pleuvait des oiseaux , félicitations à Will Driving West, un de mes groupes préférés, parmi les finalistes de la catégorie Meilleure musique originale. 

Aussi, je suis très heureux pour l’extraordinaire Je finirai en prison d’Alexandre Dostie, en nomination pour l’Iris du meilleur court métrage.

The Italian Wars: the Truce of Nice of 1538

On this day in history, the 18th of June 1538, the Truce of Nice was signed, ending the Italian War of 1536–38 between King François I of France and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.  

The Italian Wars, which are often referred to as the Habsburg-Valois Wars, were a series of military conflicts between 1494 and 1559.  They included the following campaigns:

First Italian War of 1494-1498, or King Charles VIII’s War;

Second Italian War, or King Louis XII’s War (1499–1504);

War of the League of Cambrai (1508–1516);

Italian War of 1521–1526, which ended with the Treaty of Madrid;

War of the League of Cognac (1526–1530), which included the Treaty of Cambrai;

Italian War of 1536–1538, which ended with the Truce of Nice;

Italian War of 1542–1546 when both Charles V and Henry VIII invaded France;

Italian War of 1551–1559, which finished with the acceptance of the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis by Henri II of France, who renounced all his claims to Italy in this treaty.

The Valois-Habsburg Wars altered the political landscape in Italy and Europe.  Italy was a center of conflicts between the Houses of Habsburg and of Valois for decades.  Throughout those wars, territories were conquered and lost; numerous men from participating countries were killed; ruling dynasties were overthrown and new ones established; some Italian states were annexed and others appeared.  Eventually, the Habsburgs won the battle for dominance in the region, which marked the end of Italian political independence.  Yet, despite the Spanish control in centuries to come, there would still be some room for maneuver for small Italian city-states and for princes.

The Valois and the Habsburgs both had dynastic claims on Italy.  The Italian War of Charles VIII was triggered by his hereditary claims to the throne of Naples, which had once ruled by an Angevin dynasty.  The Spanish monarchs possessed the hereditary claim to Naples as heirs to Alfonso V of Aragon, who had subjugated the kingdom and left it to his illegitimate son, Ferrante, in 1458.  The d’Orléans and d’Angoulême, the cadet branches of the Valois royal dynasty, claimed to be the rightful heirs of the Visconti Dukes of Milan, who had died out in 1447.

As of 1498, the Duchy of Milan was an Imperial fief.  When in the same year, Louis d’Orléans, grandson of Valentina Visconti, ascended the French throne, he considered his claim to Milan part of his inheritance.  Valentina was also the paternal grandmother of François I, Louis’ cousin, so François considered Milan his inheritance.  Soon after his accession in 1515, François I continued Louis XII’s campaign against the League of Cambrai in Italy and emerged triumphant in the Battle of Marignano; according to the treaties of Noyon and Brussels signed in August 1516, the entirety of northern Italy was surrendered to France and her ally, Venice, including the Duchy of Milan.

Nevertheless, holding the Duchy of Milan was more difficult than François had initially planned.  As soon as Charles von Habsburg (heir to the Spanish kingdoms as well as the lands of the Dukes of Burgundy) came to power, he reminded the world that most of northern and central Italy must be part of the Holy Roman Empire.  Charles reconquered Milan from the French in 1521 and granted it to Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, in 1522.

        King François I, Emperor Charles V, and François’ capture at Pavia

In order to restore his holdings, François personally led his troops into Lombardy in 1525, but it all ended with his captivity at Pavia on the 24th of February 1525.  Later the French monarch was imprisoned in Spain for more than a year, and then he was compelled to sign the Treaty of Madrid in January 1526, in which he gave up his claims to Italy, Flanders, and Burgundy in exchange for his release from prison.  Then two French princes – Dauphin François and Henri, Duke d’Orléans – would spend several gruesome years in Spain, held as hostages by Charles.

However, not even the captivity of François’ sons destroyed his designs on Italy.  Between 1530 and 1536, François was determined to recover at least some of what he had lost.  He still had many supporters in Italian city-states; there were also opponents of the emperor who were dissatisfied with his rising power.  Throughout his life, François firmly believed that Genoa, Milan, and Asti were all rightfully his, but recovering Milan was his main goal.  He stated that half of the lands of Savoy should belong to him as heir of his mother, Louise, who had passed away in 1531.

At the beginning of 1536, King François told his council that Charles V had become too powerful in Italy and that his archrival’s appetites for conquests must have been curbed.  In February 1536, many legions of French infantry marched towards Savoy and soon occupied it.  In late March, a French army (24,000 infantry and 3,000 horses) under the leadership of Philippe de Chabot, Admiral de Brion, captured Piedmont and then entered Turin in early April, but they failed to take Milan.  At the same time, French partisans in Asti overthrew the Imperial viceroys.

In response, on the 25th of July 1536, the Imperial army entered Provence, taking the coast road through Nice.  At the same time, Henry, Count of Nassau, commenced an invasion of Picardy from the north.  François and his generals concentrated their attention on the south of their country, where Montmorency used a scorched-earth strategy in order to devastate the naturally fertile land so as not to leave any supplies for the invaders.  The Provencal city of Aix fell to Charles on the 13th of August, and the emperor made his camp there with his army.  As the French blocked all the routes to Marseilles, Charles could not go there to get fresh supplies for his soldiers, and thousands of his men died from disease and famine.

While the Imperial troops were blocked in Provence, the French sent reinforcements (a force of 10,000 Italian infantry and a few hundred horse) to Piedmont.  More Italian troops, which served François, were raised by Guido Rangone and other military nobles from southern Lombardy.  In early 1536, François and Suleiman the Magnificent established an alliance between the Ottoman Empire and France.  By the end of 1536, a Turkish fleet was stationed near the coast of Genoa.  However, the garrison of Genoa was reinforced, and there was no uprising of Fregoso partisans (they served François) among the local populace.  François’ plans to occupy Genoa did not materialize, and soon Charles returned to Italy.

The war depleted the French treasury.  François felt that negotiations with Spain were necessary, but he yearned to be in possession of as much of Piedmont as possible.   Therefore, he joined his army and led his men in local skirmishes, which resulted in the occupation of the territory east of Turin to Monferrato and south to the Tanaro.  In the meantime, Charles began to slowly recover control of the countryside in Piedmont, and to blockade the towns and villages held for the French.

Nevertheless, Charles V was besieged by internal and external political problems.  The Turks and corsairs were becoming more active in the Mediterranean.  The stability in the German lands was destroyed by religious and political troubles, and it was high time for the emperor to use a variety of means in attempt to stop the spread of Protestantism.  There also was a brewing rebellion in the Netherlands.  Thus, Charles was ready for a truce in Italy, just as François was.

                King François I and Emperor Charles V, Truce of Nice 1538

Peace talks were opened on the border between France and Spain.  However, François refused all the Imperial proposals because the crux of their differences was the Duchy of Milan.  As neither François nor Charles was willing to compromise, Pope Paul III became a mediator between them.  Finally, the congress did finally take place at Nice, where the two rulers reluctantly agreed on a truce of ten years, and that each would keep what he held in Italy at that moment.

The Habsburg-Valois wars were far from over.  The Truce of Nice did not give the King of France what he wanted to have the most – the Duchy of Milan.  Even if one of his sons could inherit the duchy, François dreamed of ruling it himself.  The ruler would keep chasing his ill-fated dream, and Milan would remain a major cause of contention between Charles and him in years to come.

Man's Impact on the Environment Chateau de Josselin Josselin, France

Josselin Castle (French: Château de Josselin, Breton: Kastell Josilin, Latin: Castellum Joscelini) is a medieval castle at Josselin, in the Morbihan department of Brittany, France, first built in the 11th century and rebuilt at various times since. It has been designated as a monument historique since 1928.

Guéthénoc, vicomte of Porhoët, Rohan and Guéméné, began to build the first castle on the site around the year 1008, choosing a rocky promontory overlooking the valley of the Oust. The new fortress was named after Guéthénoc's son, Goscelinus. The name is recorded in the Cartulary of Redon Abbey (1080) as castellum et castrum Goscelini, but already by 1108 it was appearing as Castellum Joscelini.

The site chosen for the castle was excellent from both the commercial and the military points of view, and since the 9th century there had also existed an annual pilgrimage in September to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Bramble (Notre-Dame du Roncier), which added greatly to the wealth of the lords and people of Josselin.

In 1154, Odo, Viscount of Porhoet, step-father, guardian and regent of the young Conan IV, Duke of Brittany, collected the Breton lords to deprive Conan of his inheritance, but was defeated by Henry II of England, who was also Duke of Anjou, whose protection Conan had sought. Henry married his fourth son, Geoffrey, to Conan's only child, Constance, Duchess of Brittany, and Henry and his son pulled Josselin Castle down in 1168 and 1175. Henry II himself led the demolition and sowed salt into the ruins.

During the Breton War of Succession (1341–1364), the garrison of Josselin fought inconclusively the defenders of the nearby Castle of Ploërmel. To break the impasse, the Battle of the Thirty was arranged, contested by thirty knights from each side, and took place on 26 March 1351 halfway between the two places. The men of Josselin defeated the champions of Ploërmel, who consisted of four Bretons, six Germans, and twenty Englishmen.

In 1370 the Breton soldier Olivier de Clisson (1336–1407), later Constable of France, acquired the lordship of Josselin and built an imposing new fortress with eight towers and a keep one hundred yards across. He married his daughter Beatrice to Alain VIII of Rohan, heir to the viscounts of Rohan, whose own castle was not far away. The castle now boasts an equestrian statue of Olivier de Clisson.

Gate of the Castle In 1488 Francis II, Duke of Brittany, took the castle and partially demolished it. His daughter, Anne of Brittany, restored it to Jean II of Rohan, a great-grandson of Olivier de Clisson, who transformed the property and built a noble new house with a fine granite facade, an early example of Renaissance architecture, importing Italian artists and artisans. In recognition of his patroness Anne, sovereign Duchess of Brittany and Queen Consort of France, Rohan added to the facade at several points the sculpted letter A beneath a cord, her badge.

Banned from Josselin due to their Protestantism, René II, Viscount of Rohan and the other Rohan men could not prevent the Duke of Mercœur, then Governor of Brittany, from turning their castle into a base for the Catholic League in its struggles against Henry IV of France.

In 1603, after being advanced by Henry IV to a dukedom, Henry, Duke of Rohan, one of the leaders of the insurgent Huguenots, transferred his military headquarters to his Castle of Pontivy. In 1629, Cardinal Richelieu dismantled the keep and four of the towers at Josselin and announced to Duke Henry: "My lord, into your game of skittles I have just thrown rather a good ball!"

In the 18th century, the castle was no longer occupied as a seat of power, and during the years of the French Revolution and the First French Empire it became a prison and warehouse. In 1822, Caroline, Duchess of Berry, persuaded the then Duke of Rohan, Louis François de Rohan-Chabot, to restore it.

The Antechamber of the castle contains a marble bust of the 13th Duke, Alain Louis Auguste de Rohan-Chabot, sculpted in 1910 by Auguste Rodin.

The Castle is still a residence of Josselin de Rohan, fourteenth Duke of Rohan, who was President of the region of Brittany from 1998 to 2004.

A short history of dueling in France

Dueling is a custom of fighting by arms, according to precise rules, to settle a dispute between two adversaries, one asking the other for compensation for an offense or a wrong. In Europe, it is preceded by a challenge, usually signified by a cartel. The fight takes place in front of arbitrators, now called witnesses, who ensure compliance with the rules and specific conventions fixed in advance (number of  hits by bladed weapon or firearm). In a pleasure duel (to show off) the number of hits is fixed. In a duel to the death, we speak of "excessive duel".

The duel was aimed at regulating and limiting the violence caused by a conflict between two individuals. By fixing the terms for the resolution of the conflict, it obliged the opposing parties to agree through dialogue on settled upon conditions and constituted a kind of contractual criminal law, the judicial duel. Integrated in the late Middle Ages into criminal procedure by different customs, the legal duel evolved between the Hundred Years War and the Renaissance in private law contracts as parliaments refined the case law and the monarchy grew stronger. In modern times, the duel is no more than a form of bravado against ordinary law, the duel of the point of honor.

A form of dueling was observed in other societies, in particular in Japan, but it was then a practice reserved for the military. However, by imposing individual weapons of war, that is to say by prohibiting the use of fists, for example, the duel mainly concerned  the nobility, trained in fencing and shooting. The gentlemen ended up condescending to indulge themselves only among themselves: "Game of hands, game of villains". The spirit which governed it thus gave more value to dignity than to life, to manner rather than to interest, and claimed the primacy of individual freedom to regulate its affairs over recourse to public justice. Defended in the past by both supporters of an aristocratic regime and by Republicans, dueling is nowadays prohibited in most countries.

The oldest known form of the duel seems to be the judicial duel practiced by the Ancient Germans, already reported by Caesar. This form has slowly evolved over the centuries to lead to the duel of honor. To settle private disputes, you can fight, the gods will decide. In 502 among the Burgundians, the Gombette law codified the custom and introduced the concept of "champion."

The Church disapproved and fought against a custom deeply rooted in European culture.

The rules were the same everywhere: there is a gesture of defiance, it is noted, the meeting takes place in a closed, delimited place, there is a search to ensure that the combatants are on equal terms, and this is done in front of witnesses and after a religious ceremony.

The defeated duelist, found guilty, was hanged.

In 805 Charlemagne introduced the use of the stick in duels. However the stick would quickly become the weapon of the commoners while the nobles fought with the sword.

The Kings of France opposed it, especially during the 13th century. Saint Louis (Louis IX) in his Great Ordinance of 1254, wanted to return in judicial matters to the evidence by witnesses. Little by little, the nobility began to consider the duel as a way to challenge royal authority, and thereby assert their independence.

Philippe le Bel (Philippe IV) officially reintroduced the judicial duel by restricting it to the most serious crimes, by imposing financial formalities, and prohibiting it in time of war. The number of duels drastically decreased.

On July 10, 1547, the famous duel in Saint-Germain-en-Laye between Guy Chabot de Jarnac and François de La Châtaigneraie brought about the end of the legal duels.

Time for the great hours of the duel of point of honor!

The latter developed following the Italian wars. People defied royal power for any reason. For the most futile reasons, they challenge and killed each other and themselves, because they had to "defend their honor." It was part of the everyday landscape.

The King of France no longer giving permission to fight, people did without it, the legal duel then taking on a new form in the 16th century, the duel of the point of honor. In the desire to brave the growing royal power, they fought for any reason, and if necessary they invented a pretext concerning their honor (private or public) when the desire came to want to simply confront another with weapons in hand . The duel became a fashion, and under the influence of the Italian masters, the sword became its almost exclusive weapon with the dagger and, sometimes, the spear. The witnesses, called "seconds", from passive actors  they were at the start, took more and more part in the duels they were supposed to arbitrate. In 1652, during the duel of the Dukes of Nemours and Beaufort, there were ten people who fought together in the horse market where the meeting took place. Three people were killed and several injured.

It was a massive phenomenon; people fought in the squares of towns and villages, in the streets, especially in the woods. Some places were very famous with duelists. Where is the current Place des Vosges, a large space near the Porte Saint-Antoine was very popular with duelists.

These duels escaped justice and clerical power. The Council of Trent may excommunicate the duellists, nothing helps. In France, between 1588 and 1608, more than 10,000 gentlemen killed themselves in a duel (and that only counts the nobles!), 4,000 in the year 1607 alone according to contemporaries: it is more than the Wars of Religion.

The Kings opposed it; we can note a large number of prohibition edicts, particularly from 1599 (1599, 1602, 1613, 1617, 1623). But they were themselves part of this combative aristocracy, and showed indulgence towards the duellists (Henri IV signed many graces in such circumstances - 7000 in 19 years).

Many nobles stupidly perished in a duel and the ban became a necessity. The state assumed the " monopoly of violence" and determined to tame the nobility. But it was with Richelieu, whose brother had been killed in a duel, that the fight against the duel took a sharp turn (for a moment). Now the duel, assimilated to high treason, was to be punished with death.

On February 6, 1626, Richelieu prohibited dueling.

"Sire, it is a matter of strangling duels or strangling Your Majesty's laws."

No mercy for the duellists, it would be exile or beheading.

And on June 22, 1627 was beheaded François de Montmorency-Bouteville for fighting in broad daylight, Place Royale, against François II d'Harcourt, Marquis de Beuvron, who fled to England. The scandal of a youth killing themselves for frivolous reasons was denounced at the very heart of the Court by the great poet Malherbe whose son, himself a duelist who had received a pardon, was assassinated on July 13, 1627 for having prevented a duel.

The very severe sentence raised a wave of protest from the nobles, but the king and the cardinal did not flinch, and the execution for the example took place.

The repression continued under Louis XIV, Louis XVI .. The duels still existed (even ecclesiastics were fond of them,such as the Cardinal de Retz) they were only more discreet. In the woods, for example. There were areas of lawlessness like the Court of Miracles in Paris, where you could fight.

The Revolution abolished the royal edicts, and the duel made a powerful comeback. Except that it was now democratized: now everyone was fighting. At the fall of the Empire, demobilized officers attacked the Prussians or the legitimists. People were fighting for anything. And anywhere. In 1808, two men fought in balloons above Paris - one of the combatants was shot down and died with his witness. In 1843, two others fought with billiard balls.

In 1834 the Count of Chatauvillard published his Essay on the Duel, a true manual for the duelist.

Everyone was fighting. Debates in the Assembly often ended in a closed field with witnesses. This was the time of the cloak and daggers novels, whose authors themselves fought in duels. All the big names of the time duelled at least once.

Between 1826 and 1834 there were in France more than two hundred dead by duel.

Now for some famous duels of the XIXth century:

On May 31, 1832, Evariste Gallois, 20 years old, very brilliant and promising mathematician, just after having published his theory of ambiguity (which is still studied today), died in a duel with a lieutenant of cavalry who was more experienced than him.

On July 24, 1836, Armand Carrel died while fighting against Emile de Girardin.

A famous pistol duel took place in Saint Petersburg on January 27, 1837, and the great Russian writer Alexandre Pushkin was killed by French Lieutenant Georges d'Anthès.

During the Belle Epoque, highly regulated duels were stopped at first blood. It was a great passion.

We can find among the duelists Ledru-Rollin, Proudhon, Alexandre Dumas, Lamartine, Victor Hugo, Adolphe Thiers, Léon Gambetta, Jules Ferry, Aristide Briand, Léon Blum, Georges Clemenceau (12 personal duels plus 5 as a witness for the Tiger!), Marcel Proust (yes, even him!), and the future presidents Raymond Poincaré and Paul Deschanel.

Men, you might think. Well ... not only!

Without counting the famous Julie d'Aubigny (Mademoiselle de Maupin) with her novel-like life, we can mention the famous duel which in September 1718 opposed two lovers of the Duke of Richelieu (not the Cardinal ... but a descendant of his family), the Marquise de Nesle and the Comtesse de Polignac. They fought for his love and got little for their pains, since the Duke left them both for the Regent's daughter.

The Great War will be a game-changer. It is possible that only something that big could durably affect society to the point it would give up such a long held tradition. After such devastation and the priority given to collective defense rather than individual combat, to die "for honor" suddenly seemed very absurd.

Some nostalgics continued, but the duel fell out of favor.

The last duel in France happened in 1967 between two parliamentarians, Gaston Defferre and René Ribière (because one said to the other in the middle of the Assembly: Shut up, you idiot!)

And nowadays... Some lone voices still talk about dueling.

- François I’s maîtresses-en-titre:

Françoise de Foix, Comtesse de Châteaubriant (c.1495 - 16 October 1537) - daughter of Jean de Foix, Vicomte de Lautrec and Jeanne d’Aydie. Wife of Jean de Laval, Comte de Châteaubriant. She spoke Latin, Italian and wrote poetry. When she arrived at court, François promptly tried to seduce her. After a period of resistance, she became his mistress. When the Dauphin was baptised, Françoise was placed near the royal princesses. The King made his affections to her plain to the court, which greatly displeased his mother. As François’s official mistress, she had no political influence, only managing to persuade the King not to disgrace her brother after his defeat at the battle of Biococca. After François I returned from his captivity in Madrid, the young Anne de Pisseleu d’Heilly caught his attention. The two women battled for his affection for two years before Françoise gave up and returned to Châteaubriant in 1528. She died on 16 October 1537.

Anne de Pisseleu d’Heilly, Duchess of Étampes (1508 - 1580) - daughter of Adrien de Pisseleu, Seigneur d’Heilly and Charlotte d’Ailly. Wife of Jean IV de Brosse. She came to court in 1522 and was one of Louise of Savoy’s maids-of-honour. François made her his mistress probably upon his return from Madrid. She succeded in keeping his favour until his death in 1547. The liason received some official recognision - when the new Queen of France, Eleanor of Austria, arrived in Paris, François and Anne occupied the same window. Her influence, especially in the last year of François’s reign, was considerable. She upheld admiral Philippe de Chabot against the Constable of Montmorency, who was supported by Diane de Poitiers. Anne was tolerant of Protestants, whose beliefs she openly embraced after the King’s death. She cooperated with his sister, Margaret of Navarre. She used her inluence to enrich her family. After François’s death, the Duchess of Étampes was dismissed by Diane de Poitiers, dying in 1580.
