| Summary: | Contrary to what historiography usually reports, the famous account of the "Relation de la mort de MM. les duc et cardinal de Guise..." was never written by Marc Miron, the 1st physician of Henry 3rd. Our investigation aims at tracing the history of this text through its printed and then manuscript sources, in order to identify the origin of the error that was later peddled. Comparing the various copies preserved highlights the oldest of all, produced at the turn of the 17th century. It provides exceptional information on the author of this story and its recipient. We will evaluate its interest in terms of its likelihood, contextualising as much as possible its writing, but also the way in which its political issues had been updated from one decade to the next. This long-ignored text was finally disseminated in scholarly circles during the 1630s, but the fame it acquired was not without manipulation. |
