Commento
L'ordre du Saint-Esprit date de décembre 1578. Il a été créé par le désir d'Henri III de grouper autour de sa personne un noyau de gentilhommes dévoués et sur lesquels il pourrait compter contre la Ligue. Le roi était le grand maître de cet ordre qui comptait cent chevaliers, plus neuf commandeurs ecclésiastiques et quatre grands officiers : un chancelier, un prévôt, un grand trésorier et un greffier. Les chevaliers de l'ordre du Saint-Esprit étaient en même temps chevalier de l'ordre de Saint-Michel. La croix de l'ordre était suspendue à un cordon bleu d'où le nom de cordons bleus donné aux chevaliers du Saint-Esprit. Le dauphin et les fils de France étaient de droit chevaliers du Saint-Esprit en naissant. Le nom de Saint-Esprit avait été donné en commémoration du fait que l'élection de Henri III au trône de Pologne et son avènement au trône de France étaient arrivés tous deux le jour de la Pentecôte.
The Order of the Holy Spirit dates from December 1578. It was created by the desire of Henry III to group around his person a nucleus of devoted gentlemen on whom he could count against the League. The king was the grand master of this order, which had one hundred knights, plus nine ecclesiastical commanders and four grand officers: a chancellor, a provost, a grand treasurer and a clerk. The knights of the order of the Holy Spirit were at the same time knight of the order of Saint-Michel. The cross of the order was suspended from a blue cord, hence the name of blue cords given to the Knights of the Holy Spirit. The Dauphin and the sons of France were by right Knights of the Holy Spirit at birth. The name of Holy Spirit had been given in commemoration of the fact that the election of Henry III to the throne of Poland and his accession to the throne of France had both happened on the day of Pentecost.
