Их авторы критиковали действия короля Генриха III, по прямому распоряжению которого были убиты лидеры Католической лиги – герцог Генрих I де Гиз и его брат Людовик, архиепископ Реймсский и кардинал Лотарингский. Монарха обвиняли в самых разнообразных преступлениях, в том числе – в занятиях колдовством, что было напрямую, по мнению противников короля, связано с распространением во Франции протестантизма. В большинстве случаев колдовство описывалось в памфлетах в рамках еще средневековой европейской демонологии. Однако автор статьи обращает внимание на новые мотивы, получившие в конце XVI в. совершенно особое развитие. В памфлетах 1589 г. отчетливо прослеживалось постепенное превращение Генриха III в ведьму, которой оказывались присущи исключительно женские колдовские практики и уловки. Как полагает автор статьи, подобные гендерные трансформации были связаны как с общим направлением развития европейской демонологии, так и с личными качествами самого монарха, слухи об интимной жизни которого будоражили французское общество на протяжении всего его правления.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article deals with the analysis of political pamphlets, which numerously appeared in France in 1589. Their authors criticized the actions of King Henry III, on whose direct orders the leaders of the Catholic League, Henry I, Duke of Guise, and his brother Louis, Archbishop of Reims and Cardinal of Lorraine, were killed. The monarch was accused of a wide variety of crimes, including practicing witchcraft, which, according to the king’s opponents, was directly related to the spread of Protestantism in France. In most cases, witchcraft was described in pamphlets within the framework of yet medieval European demonology. However, the author of the article draws attention to the new motives that got a very special development at the end of the 16th century. The pamphlets of 1589 clearly show the gradual transformation of Henry III into a witch, who was characterized exclusively by female witchcraft practices and tricks. According to the author of the article, such gender transformations were connected both with the general direction of the development of European demonology, and with the personal qualities of the monarch himself, rumors about whose intimate life agitated French society throughout his reign.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Средние века</kwd><kwd>Новое время</kwd><kwd>Франция</kwd><kwd>Генрих III</kwd><kwd>политические памфлеты</kwd><kwd>демонология</kwd><kwd>гендерные трансформации</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Middle Ages</kwd><kwd>Modern times</kwd><kwd>France</kwd><kwd>Henry III</kwd><kwd>political pamphlets</kwd><kwd>demonology</kwd><kwd>gender transformations</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Дюмезиль 2012 – Дюмезиль Б.
