Concini was an Italian adventurer, son of a notary of Florence.

Come in Paris with Marie de Médicis, in 1600, it married Léonora Galigaï, chambermaid and favorite of the queen, penetrated in the good graces of Marie, and by a scandalous fortune became marquis d' Ancre, Marshal of France, finally as powerful as if it had the title of Prime Minister.

Marie de Médicis, born in Florence in 1572, was girl of the large-duke of Tuscany.

Married to Henri IV in 1600, it gave the day to Louis XIII and to Gaston of Orleans.

After having exerted regency, it was exiled in Blois after the death of Concini and made the war with her son to seize again the capacity.

Reconciled with him by Richelieu, it took again influence after the death of Albert de Luynes, but in 1630 it intrigued against Richelieu itself: Louis XIII supported his minister and Marie de Médicis died in the exile in 1652.

Henri de Condé was the grandson of Louis de Condé.

He converts with Catholicism and was a long time in favour at Henri IV, in 1610 he put at the head the dissatisfied ones and took three times the weapons against Concini: the first two times it succeed in being made gorge with gold, but with the third revolt, Concini lost patience and locked up it with the Bastille.

A young courtier, Albert de Luynes, coveted the place of Prime Minister; he flattered Louis XIII skilfully, excited it to demolish himself of Concini, to move away his mother and to take in hand the government.

Louis ordered to stop the marshal of Anchor, and to kill it if it resisted.

The captain of the Vitry guards, in charge of the arrest, understood that him for an assassination was asked, and satisfied the desire of the king: at the time when Concini entered to the Louvre, Vitry and its people threw themselves on him and killed it with blow of gun (April 1617).

This murder was followed hideous scenes: the people, which hated Concini, celebrated his death by bonfires and songs; the rabble rua on its hotel and plundered it, without one doing nothing for preventing some; then the exaggerated ones went to unearth the corpse with Saint-Germain-l' resident of Auxerre, trailed it street in street and ended up burning it.

De Luynes adapted the goods of its victim, and not to have not to fear the marshal's wife of Ancre, it made it show sorcery, condemn to death, decapitate and burn in place of Strike.
