Abstract

[eng] Abstract This study of the duel des mignons, that took place in 1578, focuses on the symbolic relationships between the members of the royal entourage and the king at the beginning of the reign of Henry III. The present paper checks the hypothesis that this event reveals the crisis of identity of the minions, and the difficulties they have to assume the royal favor. [fre] Résumé Le duel des mignons, qui se déroule en 1578, constitue un moment privilégié pour l'étude des représentations du pouvoir qui s'élaborent pendant le règne d'Henri III. Les comportements des favoris et les réactions qu'ils ont suscitées offrent en effet un matériau de premier plan pour l'historien des mentalités nobiliaires et de la société politique. La nouveauté des pratiques des duellistes, comme l'écho exceptionnel qu'elles ont reçu chez les contemporains, témoignent de la véritable crise d'identité dont sont victimes les membres de l'entourage royal à un moment-clé de la réflexion sur le rôle de la noblesse et les rapports qu'elle doit entretenir avec le prince, mais aussi dans le contexte précis de l'exercice de la faveur telle qu'Henri III la pratique au cours des premières années de son règne.
