Abstract :
[en] The election of Henry VII, count of Luxembourg, as King of the Romans in 1308, brought about a radical transformation of his court. Not only was it enlarged and internationalized, but it incorporated a growing number of experts in law, finance and writing who put their technical skills at the service of the new sovereign. This essay aims to reconstruct the career and profile of one of these professionals, Simon of Marville, a jurist and diplomat who, after a long period at the Apostolic Curia, was “lent” by Clement V to Henry VII, fulfilling the function of secretarius of the future emperor until the eve of his Romfahrt.
