Cyrano De Bergerac Life
Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac (SIRR-noh d?)

BUR-zh?-rak, -?

BAIR-, French: [savinj?~ d(?)

si?ano d(6 March 1619 – 28 July 1655) was a French novelist, playwright, epistolarian, and duelist. His work was part of the libertine literature of the first half of the seventeenth century.

Today, he is best known as the inspiration for Edmond Rostand's most popular drama, Cyrano de Bergerac, which, although it includes elements of his life, also includes invention and myth. Cyrano's study has resurgent in recent decades, as shown by the abundance of theses, essays, papers, and biographies published in France and elsewhere.

Life

Cyrano's brief life is little chronicled. Only from the Preface to the Histoire Comique de la Lune (Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon), published in 1657, nearly two years since his death. Without Henri Le Bret's biographical information, his country childhood, his military service, the burns it caused, his prowess as a swordsman, the circumstances of his death and his alleged final conversion would remain unknown.

Since 1862, when Auguste Jal announced that the "Lord of Bergerac" was Parisian rather than Gascon, research in parish registries and notarial databases by a small number of researchers, in particular Madeleine Alcover of Rice University, has aided the public to learn more about Le Bret's genealogy, his relatives, his home, Paris, and the lives of some of his relatives, but no new documents that support or refute Le Bret'sy

Savinien II de Cyrano was the son of Abel I de Cyrano, lord of Mauvilliers (156?-1648), lawyer (avocat) of the Parliament of Paris and Espérance Bellanger (1586-1648). "Daughter of deceased nobleman Estienne Bellanger, advisor of the King and Treasurer of his Finances, was the son of a deceased nobleman."

Savinien I de Cyrano, his paternal grandfather, died in Cyrano (15). Probably born in Burgundy's Sens, 1590-1990), was a member of Sens. According to documents, he was portrayed as a "merchant and burgher of Paris" in various other documents in the years, and then "Royal counsellor" (« conseil du Roi, maison et couronne de France) on April 7, 1573). He married Anne Le Maire, the granddaughter of Estienne Le Maire and Perrette Cardon, who died in 1616, in Paris on April 9th. They are reported to have four children: Abel (the writer's father), Samuel (15?).

?-1646), Pierre (15?

?-1626) and Anne (15?

? (1652)?

We know virtually nothing about Estienne Bellanger, the "Financial Controller of the Paris general revenue," and we know virtually nothing about his maternal grandfather, Estienne Bellanger (« contrôleur des finances en la recette générale de Paris). We know more about Catherine Millet, Queen of Caves' finance minister, and his grandfather, Guillaume I Millet (149?-1563), who trained in medicine in 1518, was a doctor to three kings in succession (Francis I, Henry II, and Francis II). Catherine Valiant, the daughter of a property tax collector from Nantes, Audebert Valiant, and the Affair of the Placards, was "burned alive on wood taken from his house" on January 21 for the La Croix du Trahoir (the intersection of the Rue de l'Arbre-Sec and the Rue Saint-Honoré), where Molière lived almost a century ago.

Espérance Bellanger and Abel I de Cyrano were married on September 3rd, 1612, at the church of St-Gervais-et-Protais. She was at least twenty-six years old; he was about forty-five years old. Their marriage contract, which was signed in July by master Denis Feydeau, secretary and king's notary, was only revealed in the year 2000 by Madeleine Alcover, who traces the witnesses' lives (including the Court) and even the noblesse d'épée."

Jean Lemoine published the inventory of Abel de Cyrano's worldly products in 1911. His library, which is relatively low stocked (126 volumes), refers to his education as a jurist and a curiosity in the sciences, as well as an open curiosity: a look at languages and ancient literature, Renaissance philosophers (Erasmus, Rabelais, Juan Luis Vives), a keen interest in the sciences. On the religious front, one finds two Bibles, an Italian New Testament, and St. Francis' Prayers. Basil in Greece, but no pious works have been found. Among the other handmade products are no objects of the kind (engraving, painting, statue, or crucifix), but "four wax figures" and "two small paintings of gods and goddesses depict a woman pulling a thorn, one of a flageolet player and one of an embarrassed nude woman. One of the few books by well-known Protestants, François de la Noue, two volumes of George Buchanan's Dialectique ("The Truth of the Christian Faith") by Philippe Duplessis-Mornay ("The Truth of the Christian Faith") reveals that Abel spent his younger years in Huguet surroundings.

At least six children were born in Espérance and Abel:

In the 1860s, historian Auguste Jal found the baptism of the (then) suspected Gascon.

Espérance Bellanger, three years old, Abel de Cyrano, around fifty-two years old, was inconsolable.

In La Chambre des comptes de Paris ("Court of Finances of Paris"), the surname Fanny appears nowhere (or in any other French document of the 17th century). Viscount Oscar de Poli, 1898, suggested that it must have been a transcription mistake and suggested that it be read as Lamy. On September 22, an Antoine Lamy became an auditor of finances, a year before Pierre de Maupeou, Espérance Bellanger's cousin and son-in-law Denis Feydeau, who was a witness to Savinien's parents' marriage in 1612, was actually accepted as an auditor of finances. Catherine Vigor, a close cousin of Vincent de Paul, will be President of the Confrérie de Gentilly ("Charitable Fellowship of Gentilly"), where the couple started a mission in 1634. Catherine de Cyrano's godmother may be a woman named Elena.

Marie Feydeau, cosponsor with Antoine Lamy, was Denis Feydeau and Antoine Feydeau's sister, as well as Louis (or Loys) Perrot (15?) perrot's wife. ?-1625), who also served as "King's Counsellor and Secretary" in addition to his roles as "King's Interpreter of Foreign Languages," was also identified as "King's Interpreter of Foreign Languages."

Abel de Cyrano and his family left Paris in 1622 and went to live on his land at Mauvières and Bergerac in the Vallée de Chevreuse, which had been sent in part following his mother's death in 1616.

Savinien I de Cyrano's possessions, which were located on the banks of the Yvette River in Saint-Forget's parish of Saint-Forget, had been purchased by Savinien I de Cyrano, who had purchased them from Thomas de Boerac (or Bergerat) in 1576, and his ancestors had owned them for more than a century.

"a habitable mansion," Savinien I de Cyrano owned it, included a cellar, a pantry, an upper chamber, granaries, stables, and portal; mill, enclosed plot, and low justice were all roofed with tiles; the right of middle and low justice were among the properties."

"Completed a house with portal, courtyard, hovel, and garden," the estate of Bergerac, which adjoined Mauvières, was about an acre or so, with a total of six and a half acres, of which thirty-six acres were farmland and ten woodland with the right of middle and low justice."

The child grew up in this rustic setting, and in the neighbouring parish, he learned to read and write.

His friend Le Bret recalls:

Savinien's age is unknown when he arrived in Paris. He may have been accommodated by his uncle Samuel de Cyrano in a large family house in the Rue des Prouvaires, where his parents lived up until 1618. According to Le Bret, it was there that he was introduced to his cousin Pierre, with whom he would form a lasting relationship.

He continued his secondary education at an academy that is unidentified. It has long been believed that he attended the Collège de Beauvais, where the plot of the le pédant joué is held and whose principal, Jean Grangier, would inspire Granger, the pedant of Le pédant joué, would be inspired by the play, but that his presence at the Collège de Lisieux in June 1641 as a student of rhetoric has prompted younger historians to rethink that position.

His father sold Mauvières and Bergerac to Antoine Balestrier, Lord of Arbalestre, and returned to Paris to live with his family in "a modest house at the top of the magnificent Rue du Faubourg Saint-Jacques close to the Crossing," a short distance from the Collège de Lisieux. However, Savinien is unlikely to have lived with them.

Le Bret continues his story:

Historians and biographers are not sure about this penchant, which threatened to change Cyrano's appearance. Frédéric Lachèvre wrote: "Frédéric Lachèvre wrote "Frédéric Lachèvre" as an example of some biographers' romantic imagination:

Two editors contributed to the realism and local colour four years ago: two journalists contributed to the realism and local color:

Jean-Luc Hennig's voluminous biography of Charles Coypeau d'Assoucy reveals that the poet-musician had existed about 1636 (at thirty-one), then seventeen, before beginning a homosexual association with Cyrano. Sens, a lawyer, and religious brothers and sisters were among the men convicted of neglecting them in 1656, so they had no more basis than their fanciful imagination, who had taught them the long-time habits [that he] had with C[hapelle] and late C."

Cyrano's homosexuality was first identified by Jacques Prévot in 1978.

Life and works

He was the son of Abel de Cyrano, the lord of Mauvières and Bergerac, as well as Espérance Bellanger. He received his first education from a country priest but had the honor of a fellow student, Henri Lebret, in the case of his friendship and future biographer. He then moved to Paris and the Latin Quarter, to the College de Dormans-Beauvais, where he satirized master Jean Grangier's demise in his comedy Le Pédant joué (The Pedant Tricked) of 1654. He entered a corps of the guards at the age of nineteen, serving in the campaigns of 1639 and 1640. He was known for his dueling and boasting as a minor nobleman and officer. His unique history aided him to make original contributions to French art.

According to one author, Ishbel Addyman, he was not an aristocrat but a descendant of a Sardinian fishmonger, and that Bergerac derives from a small estate near Paris, not in Gascony, and that he may have suffered from tertiary syphilis. She also believes he may have been homosexual and around 1640 became Charles Coypeau d'Assoucy, a writer and performer, until they became involved in a bitter rivalry about 1653. Bergerac later received d'Assoucy murder charges that forced him to leave Paris, which prompted him to leave Paris. Both men's quarrels were connected to a sequence of satirical books. Bergerac wrote Contre Soucidas (an anagram of his opponent's name) and Contre un ingrat (Against an ingrate), while D'Assouf counterattacked with Le Combat de Brioché, du Pont-neuf, a battle of Cyrano de Bergerac, with the monkey of Brioché at the end of the Pont-Neuf). Théophile de Viau, the French poet and libertine, has also connected him.

He is said to have left the military and returned to Paris to study literature, resulting in tragic dramas set in the orthodox classical style.

At the Convent of the Daughter of the Cross, Bergerac's cousin, Catherine de Bergerac, was the model for the character Roxane in Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac. Bergerac participated in the battle of Arras in 1640, a war between French and Spanish forces in France that took place thirty years ago (though not the Battle of Arras), but not the Battle of Arras, which took place fourteen years later). During the siege, he sustained a neck wound from a sword during a Spanish defenders' tour a day before the Spanish troops' surrender and the end of the siege. Baron Christian of Neuvillette, who married Cyrano's cousin, was one of his confrères in the conflict. However, Rostand's play involving Roxane and Christian is entirely fictional.

Cyrano was a pupil of French polymath Pierre Gassendi, a canon of the Catholic Church who tried to reconcile Epicurean atomism with Christianity.

L'Autre Monde de la Lune by Cyrano de Bergerac, "Comical History of the United States and Empires of the Moon", published posthumously in 1657) and Les Empires du Soleil (The States and Empires of the Sun, 1662) are early modern science fiction's first-hand novelists. Cyrano flies to the Moon in the past using firecrackers (it may be the first description of a space flight by using a vessel with rockets attached) and meets the inhabitants. The Moon-men have four legs, shotguns that shoot game and cook it, and they can be taught by wearing earrings.

Jonathan Swift, Edgar Allan Poe, and most likely Voltaire's combination of science and romance in the last two books provided a model for many subsequent writers, including Jonathan Swift, Edgar Allan Poe and likely Voltaire. Corneille and Molière recited Le Pédant joué's suggestions freely.

According to the play, he was injured by a falling wooden beam in 1654 while entering the Duc D'Arpajon's house. However, Madeleine Alcover, a scholar and editor of Cyrano's works, discovered a recent text that suggests an assault on the Duke's carriage in which a family member of his household was wounded. It's also unknown if or not Cyrano's death was a result of the injury or an unspecified disease. He died a year later, on July 28, 1655, age 36, at the home of his cousin, Pierre De Cyrano in Sannois. He was buried in a Sannois church. However, there is ample evidence to back up the claim that his death was caused by a botched assassination attempt as well as additional harm to his health caused by a period of internment in a private prison orchestrated by his opponents, who succeeded in enlisting the services of his own brother Abel de Cyrano.

Rise and fall of Le Hellraiser: How Gerard Depardieu, 75, went from grave robbing and stealing cars to urinating in a passenger jet aisle, befriending Putin and 'sparking French MeToo movement' as rape claims mount up against cinema legend

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 29, 2024
For decades, Gérard Depardieu has been known as one of France 's greatest and most prolific actors, starring in hundreds of films, television productions and plays. The 75-year-old Oscar-nominated thespian has portrayed numerous historical and fictitious figures including Georges Danton, Joseph Stalin, Honoré de Balzac, Alexandre Dumas, Christopher Columbus and Cyrano de Bergerac. This reputation as a French film great is perhaps only matched by his renown for impish behaviour, and over the years, the public - and Depardieu himself - have revelled in his wild excesses, including his drinking and womanising. He has over the years relieved himself in front of fellow passengers on a plane, boasted of his youth as a grave-robbing rent boy and cosied up to some of the world's most feared autocrats - including Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. However, the limit of what many among the French public were willing to ascribe to his mischievous nature appeared to reach a limit when a series of women accused Depardieu of rape and sexual assault.
