English:
A drawing by
Jean-Baptiste Nolin
depicts an event that took place on 18 October 1685 CE at the
Hall of Sanphet
in
Ayutthaya
(now a province of
Thailand
). In that event, King
Narai
of the
Ayutthaya Kingdom
granted an audience to an extraordinary mission accredited by King
Louis XIV of France
. The mission was led by
Alexandre, Chevalier de Chaumont
. Narai, making an appearance at a balcony of the mentioned hall, had to lower himself to pick the missive up from Alexandre, who refused to raise the missive up to Narai. Narai's chancellor,
Constantine Phaulkon
, is seen making a gesture telling Alexandre to raise the missive higher to Narai. Alexandre was accompanied by
François-Timoléon de Choisy
and
Louis Laneau
.
Guy Tachard recorded the event as follows [ A Relation of the Voyage to Siam . (1688). London: T.B. for F. Robinson and A. Churchill. p. 171.]:
