【 摘 要 】

Based on a reflection on the Dangeau brothers’ archiving practices, this article aims to reexamine the place of intermediaries in the court and to analyse their capacity to act through the writing practices of these individuals. The Marquis de Dangeau, a diarist, provided information to his brother, the abbot of Dangeau, a Parisian scholar. Transformed into a resource, with other information extracted from the printed documents of the time or from journalistic circles, the abbot of Dangeau enabled the importance of his brother’s role through his knowledge of courtly careers at Versailles. He had also made an archive for the king to show their family expertise, calling it the le Journal des bienfaits du roi. The article also draws on the Memoires of the Duke of Saint-Simon, the letters of Madame de Sévigné and the correspondence of Madame de Maintenon to highlight how the Marquis de Dangeau had become an informer, not only about certain courtiers but on the king himself, of whom he was the messenger.
