Using dedications to Charles VI to convey political messages: Honorat Bovet, Philippe de Mézières, Christine de Pizan and Pierre Salmon
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The dedication of four French-language advice books to Charles VI of France (r. 1380–1422), two just after the king’s declaration of personal rule and two during the period dominated by his mental illness, was a strategic choice by the books’ authors. Honorat Bovet, Philippe de Mézières, Christine de Pizan and Pierre Salmon used these dedications to convey political messages not only to the king but also to his powerful male relatives. The dedications, the way the manuscripts represented Charles both textually and visually and the way the texts urged Charles’ relatives to support Charles and each other, all place the king at the centre of the political conversation. Casting both themselves and the king’s relatives as important contributors to French political life, the writers used the role of Charles as imagined reader of the books to urge his male relatives to prioritize the needs of king and kingdom above their own.
