What Has Changed in the Last Century
All three Joinvilles were already closed subjects when Collier's wrote this in 1921: the chronicler dead since 1317, the prince since 1900, and the Haute-Marne town long past its days as a principality. Scholarship has tidied one point — Jean de Joinville's book, which Collier's splits into "Memoirs" which "embody" a separate "History of Saint Louis," is now treated as a single work, the Vie de Saint Louis, dictated in his eighties and finished about 1309 for Louis IX's great-niece Jeanne of Navarre; it remains a set text for the Seventh Crusade and is in print in modern English translation. The town has not grown: Collier's 4,000 inhabitants has drifted down to roughly 3,000 today, and the great castle of the Guise princes above it, pulled down after the Revolution, is gone, though the Renaissance Château du Grand Jardin below survives as a visitor attraction. The Prince de Joinville's own account of his life, the Vieux Souvenirs, is still the liveliest source for the 1840 voyage that fetched Napoleon's body from St Helena.
