FACTS
reports the discovery of five scrolls language Romance, called charters, in the foundations of the building. However, there is no detail revealed about the circumstances of this case

Shortly thereafter, the Warden solemnly recalls six scrolls, probably including a document in Latin

not mentioned by the newspaper.

Three of them are presented as copies of documents drawn up in 1141, made by Notary at the initiative of Alexander Gourgues, the mayor at the time, and dated August 2, 1400. They were therefore to be deposited for posterity, to protect from destruction in the fortifications then being refurbished

It reveals valuable details about the founding of the city, its role Military annals since Charlemagne, but there are also revealed the name of several notable characters corresponding to the time which would then descended.

After the originals have been delivered with ceremony and speeches in the hands of the mayor,
M

the Marquis de Lyon, who is honored to bring them under lock and key, copies are placed in an urn placed in the foundations of the new prefecture, on the occasion of the ceremony of laying the foundation stone on December 29, 1810.

The first three shipments, dated 1440, acts of 1441. - the first is a transcript of a scroll written in 1012 under the Duke of Gascony. tracing the history from 778 until the Norman invasions

- the second recalls the rebuilding of the city of Pierre in 1141 Lobanner

- the third is the minutes of investiture of the Vicomte de Marsan

The fourth, in Latin, authenticates earlier and refers to them safe

Episode 2

Then these charters are forgotten, and even lost to their new discovery 1843 to the bottom of a cardboard municipal archives. But it does remain in more than four.

We entrust them to the librarian in charge of Pau to decipher and publish them. What is done in 1850. The experts consulted, as the Secretary of the Archives of France give visas to authenticity and, soon, the ancient history of Mont de Marsan and unveiled by Pascal Duprat resumed its record on Mont de Marsan and Malta VA Bun-France in its picturesque.

Episode 3

However, Father JJ Monlezun historian, doubting certainly refrains from using it in his monumental History of Biscay in 1846, and in 1854 the French journal the Athenaeum
indicates that the style used and some new feudal law reveal the work of a forger.

At Mont-de-Marsan, is indisputably offended you, it explained, is controversial ... ..

The final blow was given by historian and Chartist JF Bladé coming on site to carry out an investigation and a review of documents published in 1861 His remarks are dry:

improbabilities, anachronistic style, details copied from old books, language abused, formulas incompatible with the feudal law, facts awkwardly added to the story, or conflicting with the known facts.

The conclusion is unqualified:

These are false modern apocryphal, born collaboration of Baron JM Duplantier, Reeve, and M Ducournau, imperial candidate for judicial office, probably the real forger. The latter figure, which announced the drafting of a History of Marsan who never saw the day was a former public prosecutor of the Seneschal Marsan, literate and probably learned at least aware of the old documents.

The case is hereby closed.

Mr. Duplantier leave at the prefecture in the north, much larger, and

Mr. Ducournau

be appointed Chairman of the Tribunal in 1812.

BUT THEN WHY FALSE CHARTERS?

Were they invent a story glorious but falsified going back to Charlemagne, likely to please the local patriotism in the search for an ancient origin to fade Dax?

Perhaps, for the prefect, to recall the old rules of a religious policy similar to that practiced by the Napoleonic Empire and used against the opposition of the clergy? ( using the fourth charter, which contained Roman law concordat of the Vicomte de Marsan, which subsequently became ill about a strangely disappeared under the Restoration, between 1813 and 1820)

Simple spoofing Mr. Ducournau, fond of history, to have fun?
