Description: After the edition of the trials of Saint-Pol and Nemours, the first edition of those of Jean V Armagnac, the Cadet d'Albret and the action undertaken post mortem against the Bold, illuminates more strongly the judicial picture of reign. The analysis of the field of rebellion and procedures not only allows us to evaluate behavior, to probe hearts, but above all to define a working method, which is that of Louis XI, nuanced, flexible and concerned before all of efficiency. The king does not free himself from the rules of law but plays with them, the model at his discretion. The edition of these new lawsuits illustrates the "method" and the stakes, and it will certainly give the grain to grind to the literary, historians, specialists of the law, anxious to better capture on the spot the emergence of legal categories put to the test of reality. Thus the great adventure started in 2008 continues with the editing of these texts which had never been published yet.--Librairie Droz.
