Summary
Château de Langeais, Indre-et-Loire, Centre, France. Marriage of Duchess <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Anne_of_Brittany" class="extiw" title="w:en:Anne of Brittany">Anne of Brittany</a> to King <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Charles_VIII_of_France" class="extiw" title="w:en:Charles VIII of France">Charles VIII of France</a>, on December 6th 1491.
This very expensive Tableau was created, with considerable financial and administrative help from the Department of Culture, - for the Institut de France. The historically-accurate Clothing was created from contemporary reportage by the famous Costumier Daniel Druet. Effigies by the celebrated Sculptor Daniel Ogier from contemporary evidence - portraits, tomb busts, and in some cases forensic reconstructions based on Government-authorised tomb investigations; - from Left to right - Princess and ex-Regent Anne de France-sole daughter of King Louis XI; her husband Pierre de Bourbon, Sieur de Beaujeu; King Charles VIII - aged 21; Duchess Anne de Bretagne, aged 14; kneeling lady -Francoise de Dinan, Dame de Chateaubriant and companion governess to the young Duchess, aged 55yrs. At the Table - seated, the Notary of Tours, Pierre Bourreau who drew up the hasty Marriage Contract; standing - Philippe de Montauban, aged 51, faithful and long-serving Chancellor of Brittany and a veteran soldier who had commanded a Company of Lances for Duke François II; seated again - the 61 yr. old Chancellor of France Guillaume de Rochefort; and lastly, standing - another of the Duchess' faithful supporters, - the Prince of Orange, Jean IV de Chalons-Arlay. At the back against the fireplace and out of sight in this view are effigies of the two Bishops who officiated - Jean de Rèly, Bishop of Angers; and Louis d'Amboise - Bishop of Albi, who was eventually created a Cardinal. Both Clerics sent detailed Reports to their Spiritual Master the Pope - which is how we know who was present at this hasty, and secret ceremony; and what clothes they were wearing.
