Bayard
Par Jean Jacquart. 1987
Personnage légendaire, Bayard, modeste gentilhomme provincial, est d'abord un témoin de son époque. Contemporain de Léonard de Vinci, de Luther…
et de Christophe Colomb, Il a vécu dans une Europe en pleine transformation à l'heure où se mettent en place les organes de l'Etat moderne et où la vieille gentilhommerie voit s'amenuiser les bases de son pouvoir. Bayard et ses compagnons sont ainsi au contact de deux mondes. Par sa naissance, par son éducation, par ses premières campagnes, le bon chevalier est encore tout pénétré d'un idéal humain fait de bravoure individuelle, du respect des règles du combat, de vertus chrétiennes. En même temps, bon gré mal gré, Il participe au nouvel art de la guerre qui s'esquisse: il accepte de se mettre à la tête de gens de pied, sait utiliser l'artillerie et il lui arrive de ruser pour tromper l'ennemi. Et, symboliquement, c'est une balle d'arquebuse tirée par un simple soldat qui l'abat, chevalier terrassé par l'arme de l'avenir. Car Bayard est en son temps un personnage anachronique. C'est ce qui le rend si attachant et parfois si émouvant. Le génie de ses premiers biographes qui ont fait de lui l'exemple du " gentil chevalier ", conforme en tous points à un idéal nobiliaire, A permis à tout un groupe social de se reconnaître en lui au moment même où son destin historique s'achevait. Et sans doute est-ce parce qu'il apparaissait comme le héros d'un monde révolu que sa mémoire a traversé les siècles.Environmentalists from our First Nations (A First Nations book for young readers #5)
