À la fois quête personnelle et document d'histoire, cette immense fresque est un modèle de référence pour la biographie historique. Elle se situe pourtant dans la tradition des Annales, dont la méfiance envers le grand homme et l'histoire politique est bien connue. Cet article revient sur le paradigme historiographique construit par Jacques Le Goff pour refonder la biographie en pratique intellectuelle sérieuse. Il analyse la démarche annoncée et mise en oeuvre dans Saint Louis en la confrontant aux écrits théoriques de l'historien mais aussi à un corpus choisi de biographies historiques de « grands hommes » médiévaux. L'hommage rendu aux fulgurances stylistiques et intellectuelles de Jacques Le Goff n'empêche pas un retour sur les apories d'un projet qui se fonde sur l'objectivation du grand homme en sujet scientifique, mais se construit sur la relation vivante entre le saint roi et son historien. Le cas Le Goff est ainsi l'occasion d'une réflexion sur l'engouement actuel pour cette forme d'histoire, qui apparaît lié à sa capacité unique à saisir et restituer la trace humaine dans le temps.
English abstract
Saint Louis is widely considered Jacques Le Goff's masterpiece. This massive work has become one of the modern models for historical biographies, while also reading like the historian's personal quest. It is not difficult to ascribe this duality to the influence of the Annales school of which Jacques Le Goff was an active heir and representant – a tradition notoriously wary of individuals, chronology and politics. This article looks at the ways imagined by Jacques Le Goff to rework all the ingredients of conventional biographies into a modern, scientific model. It moves from the historian's manifestos to his actual practice, and includes a comparative approach to other medieval biographies. The aim is both to pay tribute to Jacques Le Goff's sparks of intellect and style, and to reflect on the tension born from his twofold desire to turn the individual into a historiographical object while maintaining with him a living relationship. The case of Le Goff and Saint Louis exemplifies the trend which makes biographies an increasingly popular genre today. As I argue, it is a genre which accommodates the flexibility and contradictions of human history.

L'étude contextualisée de la diplomatie franco-anglaise au XIII e siècle modifie la donne, à partir d'une nouvelle histoire du politique irriguée par l'étude de la parenté, de la communication et des contacts médiévaux.
