[114] This refers to the manifesto issued by Condé in July, 1615, in which he had stigmatised Concini, the Chancellor Sillery, his brother the Commandeur de Sillery, and the Counsellors of State, Bullion and Dolet, as the authors of the evils which afflicted the realm. [115] The word is, of course, here used in the sense of a man who owed his fortune to him, and not in its vituperative sense. [116] Fedeau appears to have been a banker or usurer of the time, the terms being often synonymous. [117] Lavisse, _Histoire de France_. [118] Probably Gilles de Souvré, Marquis de Courtenvaux, who was also Baron de Lézines. [119] Charles de Lameth, Seigneur de Bussy. He was killed at the siege of La Capelle in 1637. [120] Richelieu assures us that Luynes showed Louis XIII forged letters purporting to have been written by Barbin, “full of designs against the person of the King,” and, considering the position occupied by Déageant, this appears very probable. [121] Vitry had been created a marshal of France the day after the assassination of Concini. “Thémines had recently been given the bâton of marshal for having adopted the trade of a bailiff; Vitry had it as his reward for plying that of a bravo. Who would have thought that this high dignity, after having been abased to Concini, would have descended yet lower still?”--Henri Martin. [122] François de l’Hôpital, Seigneur du Hallier. He was created a marshal of France in 1643, under the name of the Maréchal de l’Hôpital. [123] Luynes had two younger brothers: (1) Honor d’Albert, Seigneur de Cadanet, afterwards Duc de Chaulnes and Marshal of France; (2) Léon d’Albert, Seigneur de Brantes, afterwards Duc de Piney-Luxembourg.

The chronicler speaks frequently of the prince’s ill-treatment of his wife, for which he appears to think there was no justification. [125] Bournonville was brought to trial and condemned to death, while Persan was sentenced to be banished from France; but both were subsequently pardoned. [126] _Journal historique et anecdotique de la Cour et de Paris._ [127] It would appear, from an anecdote related by Bassompierre, in March, 1618, that Luynes had not hesitated to falsify history in his efforts to inspire the King with fear of his mother:
