MIGNONS, LES

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 427 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MIGNONS, LES . In a general sense the French word mignon means " favourite," but the people of Paris used it in a
special
  sense to designate the favourites of
Henry
  III. of France, frivolous and fashionable
young
  men, to whom public malignity attributed dissolute morals. According to the contemporary chronicler Pierre de 1'Estoile, they made themselves " exceedingly odious, as much by their foolish and haughty demeanour, as by their effeminate and immodest dress, but above all by the immense gifts the king made to them." The Guises appear to have stirred up the ill will of the Parisians against them. From 1576 the mignons were attacked by popular
opinion
 , and historians accredited without proof the scandalous stories of the time. The best known of the mignons were the dukes of Joyeuse and of
Epernon
 .
