 Furthermore, Marcel Pagnol sets out an analogy between the health status of "Dauger" and Louis XIV, involving feverishness and various chronic illnesses.He bases this on reports from Saint-Mars to Louvois on the one hand, and extracts from Henri Druon's ""L’Education des Princes"" on the other.In 1681, following the death of the Duke de Lesdiguières, governor of Exilles, Louis XIV reassigned the position to Saint-Mars, who had expressed in a letter to Louvois his ""extreme repugnance [with] commanding the citadel of Pignerol"".
