520 _aRESUMEN: Thus in his Mémories, Pierre de Bourdeille, seigneur de Brantôme, conjured up the image of a royal brother and sister dancing together in a moment of respite during the Wars of Religions. He was describing Henri III and Marguerite de Navarre before they quarreled. They were dancing a pavane, floating gracefully across the floor, and enjoying the admiration of their courtiers. They achieved a similar effect of grace and even enchantment, wrote Brantôme, when they performed the passemeno d'Italie which, though faster, required the same majestic pose, gliding movements and solemn steps, for princess Margurite excelled in these slow dance. Brantôme had placed this image of a dancing couple in the special atmosphere of a court ball, with its excitement heightened by the jewels and the lights abundantly displayed. His gaze then shifted to the forms in movement, as he stressed the consummate ease with which they dance. Another sight of dancing forms is provided in Jacques Tahureau's Dialogues, where there is recorded a debate between two anonymous speakers about the merits or otherwise of the Dance.
