Abstract
Historiettes can be defined as a collection of small memoirs in which Tallemant des Réaux reconstructed the reign of Henri IV and the regency of Anne d’Autriche. This collection of stories reshuffles the events reported in official Historiography, giving scandalous and private anecdotes of the more or less major figures of the time. The article reflects on the form of counterfactual history in a genre that is supposed to depict historical figures with a zest of funny, strange and picturesque details.
