[HENRI V] - Abbé Stanislas-Barnabé TREBUQUET (1796-1868, chaplain to the Comte de Chambord, nicknamed "l'Ange de Frohsdorf" / Correspondence of 10 signed autograph letters totaling 32 p in-8, mostly from Frohsdorf (where the Comte de Chambord was in exile), 1848-1854, to the principal of the Catholic college at Pontlevoy (Loir-et-Cher): about the Comte de Chambord's young protégé, Armand O'Hegerty, whose father (who died in Frohsdorf in 1848) was his squire (after having been the Duc de Berry's squire); in 1848, the Abbé explains that the Comte de Chambord will pay young Armand's pension in memory of his father's good services, and that he himself will act as liaison between the school and the Prince, who wishes to be kept informed of the young man's education - we also understand that Armand's uncle is his guardian, and that Armand has an older brother; the letters show that the Comte de Chambord was very attentive to Armand's daily life, with references to his "money for small pleasures", private lessons and vacations (the Comte de Chambord felt that his brother did not yet offer sufficient guarantees, and preferred to see him spend his vacations with his uncle); the young man's conduct sometimes left something to be desired, and it was clear that the Abbé was at pains to correct him; in 1852, Armand vowed to enter Saint-Cyr... "It is easy to understand that Monsieur le Comte de Chambord could not continue to pay Armand's board at a school dependent on a government hostile to the principle of which Monseigneur is the representative"; In April 1854, things took a turn for the worse, Armand wrote his uncle an insulting letter, a copy of which the Prince received. The young man wanted to join the army and had asked his uncle for permission, which he refused: "at my age, not being able to go out alone, what is all this but real slavery? "Instead of seeing this, you'll see me covered in rags, you'll see me eating the bread of begging", naturally the Abbé speaks of an "inconceivable epithet", a "flagrant violation", Monseigneur will no longer look after him until Armand has returned to the "respectful submission" he owes to his uncle; On May 17, 1854, it became clear that this was the end: the Abbé says he is distressed "by Armand's latest escapade", "obviously there is a deficit both in the head and in the heart of this poor young man", he asks for the final account, regretting this "sad denouement".
