Commento
De Bie, p.282 et pl.94 n° LXVII décrit le revers de ce jeton comme suit “Le corps est d’un bras armé jusques au gantelet en main, dont il tient un coustelas nud, le tout mouvant d’un nuage, & comme en action de desseigner quelque pesant coup, pour tirer raison par les armes des complots pernicieux de ses ennemis. Sous l’exergue MDCII. Marque du temps auquel plusieurs grands desseins contre l’Estat du Prince, se virent aussi-tost diffipez qu’esclos, la terreur de ses armes espouventant & contenant en devoir le reste de l’Univers”. Ce jeton se rapporte visiblement à l’affaire Biron, du nom du maréchal Charles de Gontaut, baron de Biron, lieutenant général des armées royales, duc et pair de France. Ce dernier, ainsi que Charles de Valois, comte d’Auvergne et Henri, duc de Bouillon complote contre le roi avec le duc Charles-Emmanuel Ier de Savoie et Philippe III d’Espagne. Arrêté, il est décapité le 31 juillet 1602 à la Bastille.
De Bie, p.282 and pl.94 n° LXVII describes the reverse of this token as follows: “The body is of an armed arm up to the gauntlet in hand, from which he holds a naked coustelas, the whole moving from a cloud, and as if in action to design some heavy blow, to bring to justice by arms the pernicious plots of his enemies. Under the exergue MDCII. Mark of the time when several great designs against the State of the Prince, were seen as soon as dif- fied as hatched, the terror of his weapons terrifying and holding in duty the rest of the Universe”. This token visibly relates to the Biron affair, named after Marshal Charles de Gontaut, Baron de Biron, lieutenant general of the royal armies, duke and peer of France. The latter, along with Charles of Valois, Count of Auvergne and Henry, Duke of Bouillon, plotted against the king with Duke Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy and Philip III of Spain. Arrested, he was beheaded on July 31, 1602 at the Bastille.
