L’invention d’un héros Charles de Habsbourg dans la chronique de Rémi Dupuis

In his account of the first travel of Charles of Habsburg in the Spanish Kingdoms (1517-1520), the “indiciaire” of Burgundy Rémi Dupuis imagined mythological encounters between his master and several Roman Gods (Juno, Neptune, and Eolus). Dupuis’s mythological court symbolically presented the tensions growing around Charles before his departure. The chronicler staged the prince as an almighty ruler because of his unchallenged capacity at dominating lands and seas.
