".. and now that he loved him and was very worthily served, she wanted to have him ruined"- Louis XIII, Richelieu, and Marie de Medici.

The triangular relationship of monarch, mother, and minister, was rife with tension. While Marie's influence was not great enough to label the governing body a triumvirate, she was pushy enough to make decisions both in and out the council very, very difficult. She became jealous of her former protégé, listened to the backbiting criticism of dévots like Marillac and Cardinal Bérulle, and eventually spoke out in council against the cleric who had once dictated her speeches. She pushed and pushed until, in 1629 and 1630, she finally demanded that her son dismiss Richelieu. This placed Louis in precisely the position he sought to avoid: to choose between minister and mother.

Louis did his best to keep his mother content and contained. He made her regent for northern France during his absence at the siege of La Rochelle in 1627-1628, and again during his campaign in Savoy in 1629. When they were separated, he was a faithful correspondent on government and personal matters. From Susa, he wrote of being "right to the last breath of my life your very humble and obedient son." But, except when she insisted on Gaston's marrying in 1626, Louis refused to follow his mother's political recommendations when these differed from his own intuitions.

In the face of Marie's growing jealousy of the bond between her protégé and her son, Louis praised the Cardinal's services: "My Cousin the Cardinal of Richelieu has so worthily served me on this occasion that I cannot say just how much I am satisfied with his care and diligence. They give me hope that the rest of my undertaking will go the same way; and that God, if it pleases him, will continue to favor my designs."

In the winter of 1629-30, Louis mustered his strongest argument, saying that "when he had been not at all inclined toward [Richelieu] she got him to employ him; and now that he loved him and was very worthily served, she wanted to have him ruined." Marie countered in vain "that he could employ him if he wished, but for her part she would never engage his services." Louis insisted on getting the three principals together in a meeting that left all of them in tears. An observer recalled that "the king threw so much passion into this reconciliation that it was achieved the next day." Against her better judgment, Marie agreed to retain Richelieu and his relatives as leading members of her personal household. And so tensions continued.

Ultimately, Louis resolved such tensions as these by striking back. Irritated beyond measure by government problems involving human failures, he lashed out against the immediate wrongdoer and made sweeping cabinet changes that, not trusting his own judgment, he had previously hesitated to undertake.

Thoughts on s2 episode 1:

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS

THEY DID IT AGAIN

TWENTY YEARS LATER WASN'T ENOUGH THEY KILLED RICHELIEU OFFSCREEN AGAIN

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY *yelling at the sky*

IT WAS ALREADY HARD TO LOSE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE BOOK OFFSCREEN ONCE

BUT THEY DID IT AGAIN

I KEPT HOPING IT WAS A TRAP BUT NO. D E A D

I actually looked it up and the actor who played him got another opportunity so good for him !! Congrats dude !

BUT STILL I AM HURTING

I'm happy to see Rochefort but I am still destroyed. He will never be Richelieu

Also poor book!Rochefort is getting another villanous adaptation. Sorry my dude no luck

I was incredibly worried that Rochefort would keep his weird haircut throughout the whole season but then he combed his hair so it's all better now. I can accept that

ROCHEFORT BETTER MAKE RICHELIEU PROUD

But he's starting on the wrong foot. At least Richelieu really did it for France =(

Louis is so sad. He's lost his adoptive father and he won't even get a new one =(

Still no lackeys. I'm still sad about that=(

Missed opportunity to bring in Mazarin though.

I

I'm just so sad

This is still great ofc I'll be fine but I have been bamboozled misled betrayed like Miette

I feel like Miette in this Chili's tonight

"It is something that must be remedied". Dueling, noble privilege, honor, and the authority of the State.

At the Assembly of Notables, the king's friends Marshals La Force and Bassompierre complained that although the noble order had saved Henry IV's throne when the other orders had "deserted" him, now they found themselves pushed unceremoniously out of judicial and financial offices and even the king's council. Louis XIII replied cautiously that he intended to "favor his nobility with all the advantages he could." In the next few months he responded with a mixture of token concessions and severe demands. On the benign side, he tried (in vain) to make nobles engage in ignoble commerce by legalizing it, and he gave them a monopoly of household offices and top military and ecclesiastical posts. On the disciplinary side, he slashed their pensions, added yet another edict against dueling (superseding those of 1623 and 1624), set up a noble commission to authorize the demolition of chateau and town fortifications in the interior of the realm, and made it a capital offense to attack state policies and their authors (i.e., Richelieu) in printed tracts. Richelieu's hand can be seen in both the benign and the harsh sides of these reforms; Louis hand is especially evident in the latter.

The most spectacular example of Louis XIII's reforming action involving the nobility during this period was the execution of Bouteville for dueling. Francois de Montmorency, count of Bouteville, was a member of a distinguished provincial family and had the best connections at court. He embodied the noblest qualities of the fearless warrior in Louis's battles with the Huguenots. Unfortunately, he was also, at age twenty-seven, the champion dueler of France. Richelieu exaggerated only slightly in saying that Bouteville had his hand in every duel in France between 1624 and 1627. Some sort of showdown with Louis XIII was inevitable.

Just before Richelieu's rise to power Louis had tried to enforce an earlier revision of antidueling laws. But Bouteville had fled, and dueling tapered off. It reemerged in 1626. The count was in the thick of the fight, having returned to France just as the old law he had transgressed expired and the new —and more enforceable— edict of February 1626 was being unveiled. Combining the king's determination and his leading minister's ingenuity, the edict of 1626 addressed the pronoble parlementary judges' objection to executing every transgressor of previous laws. Duelers were put on notice that if they dueled or challenged anyone to a duel one on one, they would be stripped of their public posts; if they dueled with seconds —("Three Musketeers"-style) or killed an opponent, they would die. Furthermore, common knowledge alone—rather than virtually unobtainable witnesses, could send a nobleman to the executioner's block.

No one paid any attention. Louis himself seemed ambivalent, for he let his disgraced favorite Barradat off with only banishment from court. Bouteville's case, however, was different from all the rest: he was forever getting involved in elaborate, blood-shedding duels over his honor, even when he tried to run away from them! Just before implementation of the new edict, he engaged in a duel of three against three that ended the lives of two opponents, including yetanother boyhood companion of King Louis. At the beginning of 1627 Bouteville was drawn into yet another duel after his opponent, La Frette, called him a coward for refusing his challenge. A Bouteville second was killed, and the ace dueler promptly fled with his cousin Chapelles to the Spanish Netherlands to escape the new edict's penalties.

Louis XIII unwittingly led Bouteville at long last to his doom by giving the honor-ridden young man a partial pardon that looked like a slight: he would not be prosecuted if he returned to French soil but stayed away from court. Stung by this affront, Bouteville decided to evade no longer the baron of Beuvron, the would-be revenger of his last dueling victim, who had come unsuccessfully all the way to Brussels to challenge him. They fought a multiple duel, in the most public place in Paris Bouteville could think of to uphold his honor against his noble opponent and his royal master —the fashionable Place Royale.

Observers reported the king as being "so offended" that he sent Bassompierre after the fleeing Bouteville and Chapelles with Swiss guards, asked the parlementary prosecutors if the duo could be taken dead or alive, and "expressed great joy" at the news of their capture (while Richelieu and Marillac merely shrugged their shoulders and went on with their work). The instigator of the duel, Beuvron, escaped to England.

As the trial proceeded, Louis managed to keep his emotions in check. When Bouteville's wife, three months pregnant, fell on her knees after mass, the king avoided her, commenting: "The woman brings me pity, but I wish to and must maintain my authority." The condemned man's uncle by marriage, Condé, got nowhere with the typical male noble arguments: "He has failed by error of the custom of your kingdom, which makes honor consist of undertaking perilous actions…. The universal quest for glory, not a personal design to disobey you, drew him into this disobedience."

It is possible that Louis might have been swayed had Richelieu not constantly argued that a test case be made of Bouteville's flagrant defiance of the law. But, as we have seen in our discussion of the royal-ministerial partnership, the minister also made counterarguments for clemency. Richelieu later wrote that he had never been more shaken than by this conflict of values, and by appeals that came from his own family.

After the Parlement had sentenced Chapelles and Bouteville to decapitation, and their opponents to hanging in effigy, Louis armed himself as best he could against the shrieks of Condé's wife and the fainting of Mme de Bouteville. He cited his edicts, conscience, oath, and the blood of his nobility, "for which he had to answer to God." To Charlotte de Montmorency-Condé's cries for mercy he answered: "Their loss moves me as much as you, but my conscience forbids me to pardon them." According to the royal historiographer Bernard, Louis also exclaimed: "It is necessary for a little blood to be shed in this instance to stop the stream that flows daily." Louis XIII insisted that the execution be public, nervously ordered the guards to seize anyone who so much as called for "grace," and had the surrounding streets blocked off with chains and carts.

Bouteville and Chapelles died bravely and repentant for their crimes, dignifying a scene that must have sickened the entire court. Louis himself had to be bled a week later, and immediately fell dangerously ill. Was it worth it? Bernard contended that dueling was lessened, and history has accepted his verdict. In truth, the death on 22 June 1627 of a young nobleman who had killed twenty-two opponents was an exceptional act of state. In contrast to Henry IV and Marie de' Medici, who had condoned the socially acceptable crime of private dueling, Louis XIII simply said that state order was incompatible with flagrant lawless behavior in the name of noble honor.

During the rest of his reign Louis chose carefully where to draw the line. The axe fell on a beloved captain of the king's guards, but spared Protestant and Catholic officers in 1627-28, including Richelieu's cousin, who tried to settle the last of the religious wars by ritual duels. In 1636 Richelieu wrote to Louis that dueling had reappeared, to which the king replied: "It is something that must be remedied."

Richelieu on the Sea Wall of La Rochelle - Siege of La Rochelle

by Henri-Paul Motte

Richelieu in the centre is represented on a dike. At his side, in retreat, his general staff. This dike, which no longer exists today, was built at the time of the Great Siege in 1628 to prevent aid from the English to the Rochelais. Note the particular costume of Richelieu which combines at the same time the armour and the scarlet cape of a Cardinal.
