Contenu dans cinq manuscrits repérés à ce jour, l’Avis aus roys est un texte méconnu qui appartient augenre littéraire des « miroirs au prince » renvoyant à leur(s) destinataire(s) l’image idéale, exemplaire, dugouvernant. Librement inspirée du De regimine principum de Gilles de Rome et du Liber de informationeprincipum, l’oeuvre semble avoir été adressée à un jeune prince Valois, vers 1347, afin de répondre auxpréoccupations du temps. Des incertitudes planent quant à l’identité de l’auteur et du commanditaire, lesmanuscrits restant discrets sur leur origine. Le futur Jean II le Bon confia peut-être la rédaction de cetraité au confesseur royal bourguignon Pierre de Treigny afin que ses jeunes fils se conforment à l’imaged’un prince idéal. Le moment semble choisi : en plus d’être contestée, la dynastie Valois est alors en proieaux difficultés militaires. En réponse à la défaite de Crécy et suivant les réformateurs, l’auteur de l’Avisaus roys propose de mieux sélectionner les officiers de l’Hôtel, de renforcer la dignité du prince en mêmetemps que son rapport à Dieu. Parmi les exemplaires de l’Avis aus roys, le manuscrit M. 456 de la Pierpont Morgan Library, datable du milieu du XIVe siècle, est le plus proche de la rédaction initiale et ilest exceptionnel par sa richesse iconographique inégalée dans le genre littéraire des « miroirs ». Dans cecodex, des artistes parisiens ont constamment cherché à mettre le corps royal en valeur, renforçant lecaractère pédagogique du texte tout en donnant un écho à l’actualité politique et militaire. / The Avis aus roys, read in five manuscripts up to now, is a little-known text belonging to the mirrors forprinces literary genre. This genre teaches future princes and kings how to rule in the best possibleway. This work is inspired by Giles of Rome's De Regimine Principum and by the Liber de informationeprincipum, and seems written for a young prince from the Valois lineage around 1347 to answer to theconcerns of this period. The manuscripts remain discreet on their origins as both author and sponsors arenot being clearly identified. The future John II the Good may have required the writing of this treaty fromroyal confessor Pierre de Treigny from Burgundy to make sure his sons would conform to the image ofan ideal prince. The time seemed to be right as the Valois dynasty was not only contested but facingmilitary struggles as well. As an answer to the Crecy defeat and according to the reformers, the author ofthe Avis aus roys suggests to make a better selection for the Hôtel officers, and to increase the prince'sdignity as well as his relationship with God. Among the Avis aus roys copies, the manuscript M.456 of the Pierpont Morgan Library, which is datable to the mid-XIVth century, is the closest to the originalwritings. This copy is exceptional due to its iconographic content unequalled in the mirrors literary genre.In this codex, some parisian artists have constantly looked to highlight royalty by emphasizing theeducational aspect of the text and covering the political and military matters of the period.

Václav Žůrek Comparison of the Use of Historical Motives in the Monarchical Legitimacy in Kingdoms of France and Bohemia in the Late Middle Ages Abstract Concepts of the past are most important parts in the formation of individual and collective identity. Medieval authors deliberately used the historical narratives as a means of enhancing the cohesion of respective social groups, usually the ruling strata of society. The doctoral thesis focuses on re-interpretations and exploitations of the past in France and Bohemia during the 14th century, on the role of historical narratives in the self-representation of the ruling dynasties Luxembourg and Valois, and on the perception of their own role in the history. Main question of the thesis is the social and literary context of the shaping of an imagination of the past: detailed comparison between the Latin and vernacular historiographical production at the royal courts in France and Bohemia bring also crucial observations as to the ways and means of cultural transfer between the respective centres of power.

As readers of the journal of the marquis d'Argenson will knows the mastres des requetes ordinaires do 1'hotel du roi were "la vraie pepiniere des administrateurs" in the eighteenth century (1) From this judicial company were drawn the intendants of the provinces, finance and commerce, most of the councillors of state and, sometimes, secretaries of state, keepers of the seal and chancellors. (2) The term "pepiniere" could also be used to describe the masters during the reign of Louis X, at least after 1660. Yet, before the reign of Louis xiii the description was not an accurate characterization, for the simple reason that the centralized administration of later Bourbon France did not exist. To be sure administrators abounded, even though they were fewer in number in sixteenth than seventeenth-century France. As a well-known article by Gaston Zeller illustrates Valois France was ruled by a decentralized. administration. - (3) "Before the intendants" the realm was under the supervision of governors, parlements, estates and local functionaries. Representatives from the centre made few appearances in the provinces, for the centre was composed of the king and his court and only a handful of robins and scribes. From the end of the religious wars until the Fronde this system began to crumble under the assault of what historians refer to as administrative centralization. To say that the monarchy "undertook" this policy would be misleading since it was mainly a consequence of the efforts of the crown, supported by much of the elite, to liberate itself from both the Protestant state-within a- state and the Spanish hegemony. Obliged to mobilize resources, to control internal conditions which became more alarming in the 1620s and 1630s and to handle the growing influx of administrative and judicial business which was the result of its policies, the crown required a group of officials who would be responsible first and foremost to itself. Local magistrates and administrators, whose reliability was sometimes undermined by provincial loyalties and attachments to venerable institutions dis-ow posing of much independence from the crown, could not be entrusted with all the necessary, tasks. But the company, of masters, originally a tiny group of magistrates who had traditionally received placets presented to the king, was the tool to which the king had recourse. One of our intentions is to show how the monarchy adapted this traditional group to serve ends which were revolutionary. This work traces what can only be called the rise of the masters", a phenomena which coincided with their metamorphosis into the "pepiniere" of a central administration which was busier and more involved in local affairs under Louis XIII than under the Valois. The period covered is one which would have seemed coherent to men of the l64Os vfor as Pomponne do Bellievre, a councillor of state, wrote: de temps en temps les fonctions do lours charges s'estoient alleves et quelquefois diminuees, ii est advenu quo los guerres civilles de la ligue finissantes apres la diminuation de leurs charges, elles se releverent beaucoup, en sorte quo le prix d'icelles estant d'un tiers moindre que les offices au parlement, auiourd'huy, cinquante ans apres, le prix an est augmente pardessus les offices au parlement de plus du tiers, l'asseurance du droict annuel donna courage d'y entrer et L'esperance at comme certitude d'en sortir conseiller d'estat: en y ayant beaucoup porte qui autrement n'y fussent pas entres"., (4) However, ideally we would be obliged to follow the history of the company into the 1660s. This has been done in some, but not all, sections of this work. The story of the group is a complicated and rich one' as scholars who have ventured in this direction-- especially Professors Mousnier and Antoine-- are well aware. (5) Although the most important cause of the magisterial success is the one noted above, it will be necessary to explain other factors- the conditions of success, some of which lay in the chaotic financial conditions of Valois France, and other forces which propelled the masters along an advantageous itinerary. , "such as their skill as a pressure group. Attention, will also be given to the ambiguities of their position. for they were tied closely professionally, and socially to judicial companies which drifted steadily into opposition to the crown, under Louis XII7.
