| Summary: | From 1773 to 1787, the small town of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, in Dauphiné, where the exercise of justice alternated every two years between the officers of the bishop (lord of the place) and the royal judge, lived to the rhythm of the legal proceedings between the lord-bishop and the vibailli d’Audiffret for the control of the bailliagère justice. To face the powerful bishop, d’Audiffret called back his closest relatives, especially his father-in-law, the ex-viballi François Payan, who had a serious dispute with the prelate. Behind the legal dispute, a conflict of notabilities was actually played out, pitting a family with opposing ambitions against each other. By cross-referencing a large corpus of heterogeneous sources, the micro-analytical focus makes it possible to understand the strategy deployed by the Audiffret-Payan duo to thwart the lord-bishop, the resources mobilised, and their different uses (technical or more informal). |
