Jean d’Auffay, a counsellor of Mary of Burgundy, was the author of a treatise
written between 1477 and 1479, that vindicated her rights to Charles the Bold’s
inheritance. This article compares the historical culture in d’Auffay’s treatise with
that displayed in a wide-ranging inquiry in support of Mary’s rights, undertaken in
the Burgundian archives around 1478-1479, and recorded in the Archives du Nord
(9B 241). D’Auffay’s treatise relied on diplomatic sources such as letters and treaties.
However he also knew how to skilfully turn some myths, such as the salic law or the
reditus, against his French adversaries. While supporting his princess’s interests,
d’Auffay also highlighted the sufferings of his own region, Artois. Although his
treatise was not published until 1700 (by Leibnitz), its influence on diplomacy is
attested by almost 70 known copies, made between the late fifteenth and early
eighteenth centuries. |
