Abstract

In his Advis donné au Roy de Navarre sur le reglement de sa façon de vivre (1583), Philippe Duplessis-Mornay encouraged his king, Henry III of Navarre (the future Henry IV of France), to abandon his old way of life and to commit himself to a new routine that would involve a rigorous organization of his day. The well-organized royal day would provide the most reliable proof that he would be a credible leader of the European Protestants and potentially also the heir to the throne of France. This Advis is rooted in the tradition of the “mirrors of the princes”, but it also seems to be inspired by the new reflection on the relations between the king and his court that was taking place at the time. Analyzed with this new perspective, Duplessis-Mornay’s text aims to prepare his king to take the reins of the court and to imitate in this the monarchies that had developed a complicated courtly protocol and étiquette. Although Duplessis-Mornay’s attempt turned out to be ineffective because Henri did not change his way of life, Advis indicates that these new models of courtly life were highly valued.
