Saint Louis

Ce Saint Louis de Jacques Le Goff, c’est la rencontre d’une des figures de proue du mouvement des Annales, traditionnellement hostile au culte de la biographie, avec la plus haute figure de l’histoire nationale, le personnage quasi mythologique du roi très chrétien, et même le seul canonisé des « trente rois qui ont fait la France ». Et pour faire bonne mesure, cette étude approfondie ne se veut – c’est ce qui fait sa puissante originalité – ni la « France de Saint Louis » ni « Saint Louis dans son temps », mais bien la recherche, modeste et ambitieuse, tenace et constamment recommencée, de l’homme, de l’individu, de son « moi », dans son mystère et sa complexité. Qui fut Saint Louis ? Peut-on le connaître et, Joinville aidant, entrer dans son intimité ? Peut-on le saisir à travers toutes les couches et les formations de mémoires attachées à construire sa statue et son modèle ? Problème d’autant plus difficile que, la légende rejoignant pour une fois la réalité, l’enfant roi de douze ans semble avoir été dès le départ programmé, si l’on ose dire, pour être ce roi idéal et unique que l’histoire en a fait. Cette somme tient ainsi le pari de fondre dans la même unité savante et passionnée le récit de la vie du roi et l’interrogation qui, pour l’historien, le double, l’habite et l’autorise : comment raconter cette vie, comment parler de Saint Louis, à ce point absorbé par son image qu’affleure la question provocatrice, « Saint Louis a-t-il existé ? ». Les biographes se veulent, en général, neutres et impassibles comme des juges suprêmes. Ici, le sentiment de la vérité naît au contraire de la tension explicite entre l’historien et son héros : un mélange d’attirance et d’hostilité, d’admiration, de rejet et de déconcertante amitié qui, loin de toute hagiographie, s’épanouit en une contagieuse fascination.
