Oh no...I fear we're next going to learn that the tale of Lully's death from gangrene brought about by an accident with his conducting staff is a fable also! It must be true: Wikipedia says so. Not to mention the liner notes on every record of Lully's music. Incidentally, I learned from Wikipedia that the guitar was Lully's first instrument.
