Commentary
1297 est symboliquement la date de fondation de la Dynastie des Grimaldi de Monaco. En 1297, Francesco (François) Grimaldi du parti Guelfe décide à la tête d’une troupe armée de prendre la forteresse de Monaco tenue par les gênois ralliés au parti des Gibelins. Le 8 janvier 1297, déguisé en moine franciscain, il s’y introduit et ouvre les portes à ses soldats qui s’empare de Monaco.
