Français : Le roi de France Louis XII sort de la forteresse d'Alessandria avec son armée, pour aller mater la rébellion de la ville de Gênes, qui s'est soulevée contre lui (campagne de janvier à mai 1507). 5ème enluminure du manuscrit Le Voyage de Gênes (ca.1500), par Jean Marot (ca.1450 - ca.1526). La devise "NON UTITUR ACULEO REX CUI PAREMUR" signifie "le roi à qui nous obéissons n'use point de son aiguillon". Cela fait référence à la croyance classique (citée par Pline, Sénèque) selon laquelle une colonie d'abeilles ou de guêpes était gouvernée dans une société idéale par une abeille royale bienveillante. Les abeilles, la ruche et la devise brodés sur la tunique de Louis XII sont là pour suggérer aux sujets rebelles de Gênes que s'ils reviennent à l'ordre, aucun mal ne leur arrivera. L'insigne héraldique royal du porc-épic est représenté brodé sur les cottes de deux des chevaliers qui le précèdent. Le porc-épic était le symbole personnel habituel du roi Louis XII.


English: King of France Louis XII riding, out the fortress of Alessandria with his army, in order to attack the city of Genoa, rebel against him (january to may 1507 campaign). Fifth illuminated picture of the manuscript Le Voyage de Gênes (ca.1500), by Jean Marot (ca.1450 - ca.1526). The motto "NON UTITUR ACULEO REX CUI PAREMUR" means "the King to whom we obey does not use its sting". See also the porcupines, one of the personal symbols of king Louis XII.
