Abstract: [fre] Résumé L'étude quantitative des personnages historiques cités par les députés de la Restauration souligne sans surprise le clivage entre ultraroyalistes et libéraux. L'appartenance politique est en effet liée à l'existence d'un regard sur le passé, d'une mémoire particulière. En analysant les principales figures évoquées et les jugements dont elles font l'objet, en opérant des recoupements qui permettent d'élargir le commentaire aux différentes périodes du passé, cette étude montre la complexité du rapport de ces mémoires : parfois antagonistes, s' ignorant mutuellement en d'autres occasions, elles présentent également certaines convergences, notamment au travers de jugements communs sur les personnages du passé. [eng] Abstract The quantitative study of the historical figures cited by the members of the Restoration Parliament brings out predictably, the quantitative study of the historical figures mentioned by the members of the Restoration Parliament brings out the distinction between the ultraroyalists and the liberals, since one's political preferences necessarily relate to a certain viewpoint on the past, a particular kind of memory. By examining the chief of those figures as well as the judgements passed on them, and cross-checking data in order to survey different periods of the past, this paper lays stress on the complex relationship between the memories thus called into play : now antagonistic, now ignorant of one another, they can also betray common characteristics, notably through their similar assessments of this or that famed individual. The distinction between the ultraroyalists and the liberals, since one's political preferences necessarily relate to a certain viewpoint on the past, a particular kind of memory. By examining the chief of those figures as well as the judgements passed on them, and cross-checking data in order to survey a sufficient range of the past, this paper lays stress on the complex relationship between the memories thus called into play : now antagonistic, now ignorant of one another, they can also betray common characteristics, notably through their similar assessments of this or that famed individual.
