Anne Of Brittany (anne De Bretagne)
(Georges Minois)
Of Anne of Brittany, we retain often only one regionalist stereotype, that of the small duchess who, by her successive marriages with Charles VIII then Louis XII, was the author of the fastening of Brittany in France.
The personal history of Anne largely exceeds this politico-sentimental framework.
Duchess at eleven years, queen at fifteen years, mother at sixteen years, widow with twenty and one years, she was remarried the following year and dies out at thirty-seven years after having seen dying seven of her nine children.
During her short life, it knew more failures than of success, more sadness than of joy. But if she did not change the course of the history, it faced her destiny with an unquestionable courage.
It is through mentalities and the crises of those time that George Minois makes us rediscover this hard woman, authoritative, egocentric person, who, at the dawn of the Rebirth, knew to use the writers and his duchy to put them at the service of his passion, frustrated, of the capacity.
Energetic temperament, faithful to the medieval values, it hardly resembles the image of the ?good duchess in shoes? forged by its romantic biographers.
