Alleged interview of Saint-Germain with Queen Marie-Antoinette [ edit | modify the code ]
Saint-Germain is also mentioned in the Souvenirs sur Marie-Antoinette . The book was published in 1836 by the forger Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon , who then claimed that it constituted the authentic Memoirs of Gabrielle Pauline Bouthillier de Chavigny , Countess of Adhémar, lady of the palace of Queen Marie-Antoinette 15 .
The book relates, among other things, the demonstration of transmutation of a silver coin into gold that Saint-Germain made in front of her first husband, the Marquis de Valbelle. In another chapter, the Countess of Adhémar recounts the visit of Saint-Germain (he then called himself Monsieur de Saint-Noël), who wanted to warn King Louis XVI of the misfortunes to come from the French Revolution :"This reign will be fatal to him [to Louis XVI] ... A gigantic conspiracy is formed which does not yet have a visible leader, but it will appear before long. We tend to do nothing less than overturn what exists, except to reconstruct it on a new plane. We blame the royal family, the clergy, the nobility, the magistracy. However, there is still time to thwart the intrigue: later that would be impossible ” . She introduced it discreetly to Queen Marie-Antoinette (no doubt in 1774) and witnessed her astonishing revelations to the queen: "The encyclopedist party wants power, it will only obtain it by the total lowering of the clergy. , and to achieve this result, he will overthrow the monarchy ” . He predicts the role ofDuke of Chartres and his disastrous end: "he will be offered the crown of France, and the scaffold will take the place of his throne" , as well as a civil war and "a greedy republic whose scepter will be the executioner's ax" . The interview with King Louis XVI, with the aim of giving him more complete revelations, will not take place, because the Count de Maurepas , his minister, will want to have Saint-Germain arrested. The latter, sensing it, will disappear.
The Countess of Adhemar and enter this amazing interview: "The queen thought again sometimes, but she gradually lost the memory 16 . "
