| Description |
Français : Le roi de France Louis XII sort de la forteresse d'Alessandria avec son armée, pour aller mater la rébellion de la ville de Gênes, qui s'est soulevée contre lui (campagne de janvier à mai 1507). 5ème enluminure du manuscrit Le Voyage de Gênes (ca.1508), par Jean Marot (ca.1450 - ca.1526). La devise "NON UTITUR ACULEO REX CUI PAREMUR" signifie "le roi à qui nous obéissons n'use point de son aiguillon". Cela fait référence à la croyance classique (citée par Pline, Sénèque) selon laquelle une colonie d'abeilles ou de guêpes était gouvernée dans une société idéale par une abeille royale bienveillante. Les abeilles, la ruche et la devise brodés sur la tunique de Louis XII sont là pour suggérer aux sujets rebelles de Gênes que s'ils reviennent à l'ordre, aucun mal ne leur arrivera. L'insigne héraldique royal du porc-épic est représenté brodé sur les tuniques de deux des chevaliers qui le précèdent. Le porc-épic était le symbole personnel habituel du roi Louis XII.
English: King of France Louis XII in 1507 riding out of the fortress of Alexandria with his army, in order to retake the city of Genoa, which had rebelled against him (January to May 1507 campaign). Fifth illuminated miniature in the manuscript Le Voyage de Gênes (ca.1508), by Jean Marot (ca.1450 - ca.1526). The motto "NON UTITUR ACULEO REX CUI PAREMUR" means "the King whom we obey does not use his sting", referring to the ancient Classical belief (Pliny, Seneca) that a colony of bees (or wasps) was ruled by a benign king bee in an ideal society. Thus bees and a wickerwork skep are embroidered on his tunic, to suggest to his rebellious subjects in Genoa that if they will come back to order no harm will befall them. The royal heraldic badge of the porcupine is shown embroidered on the tunics of two of his retinue who precede him. A porcupines was the usual personal symbol of king Louis XII. |
