<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Count Armand Alexandre de Blanquet du Chayla''' (25 March 1885 – 1945) was a French [[nobleman]] who converted to [[Russian Orthodox Church|Russian Orthodoxy]]. He is chiefly remembered for giving crucial evidence and/or testimony for the [[prosecution]] at the [[Berne Trial]] in 1935 against the notorious [[Protocols of Zion]].<br />
<br />
Du Chayla had been a journalist at the time of the 1913 blood-libel trial of [[Mendel Beilis]] and had written in support of the accusation.<ref name=Hagemeister>{{cite book | author = Michael Hagemeister | title = The Perennial Conspiracy Theory | publisher = Routledge | place = London and New York | year = 2022 | pages = 25}}</ref> At Berne he insisted on payment of 4,000 Swiss francs for his testimony, which the plaintiffs found difficulty raising.<ref name=Hagemeister/> [[Michael Hagemeister]] wrote that du Chayla's testimony was full of factual errors and inconsistencies, but unfortunately still taints the historiography of the Protocols.<ref name=Hagemeister/><br />
