Chronicle of the Arrest of Marguerite de Valois in 1586 (Based on Royal Correspondence from the National Library of Russia)

The article is based on the original letters of the French king Henry III, his mother Catherine de Medicis to the Secretary of State Nicolas de Villeroy in October-November 1586, conserved as part of the collection of Peter Dubrovsky in the Russian National Library. These letters focus on an important episode in the history of the Civil Wars in France, circumstances of the arrest of the king’s rebellious sister, Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre, a supporter of the Catholic League, and her itineraries in the fall of 1586 in Auvergne. This subject has not yet fully studied in the works of historians. Thanks to unknown documents, introduced now into scientific circulation, it becomes possible to understand the logic of the adoption, sequence and coordination of royal decisions regarding Marguerite, as well as the choice of couriers, the time and possibilities of delivering these decisions to recipients.
