Stenay and the Devil Stone


TO THE SOURCES OF THE MYTH
In fact the myth will take shape in 1973 with the publication by Gérard de Sède of a `sensationally' entitled work, La Race Fabuleuse, extra- terrestres et mythologie mérovingienne (éditions J’ai Lu, collection l'Aventure Mystérieuse). De Sède is a well-known creator of legends, already holding sway over Gisors and its treasure as well as Rennes-le-Château and the secret of abbé Saunière. This time he relapses to explain us, substantially, the Merovingian dynasty was… of extra-terrestrial origin… And makes, within his demonstration, a great detour by Stenay. Let's try to resume the marking points of the work while specifying the author's source is largely speculative as resting on a series of interviews with a mysterious Marquis de B. whose identity will not be revealed to us…[2]

- On the town's blazon there appears the demon's grimacing and horned face, a figure however never utilized in heraldry… After local investigation, study of the works of an 19th-century archaeologist, a certain Jeantin, and talks to the Marquis de B., de Sède reaches the conclusion Stenay is formerly called Shatan, then Shatenay.
