THE REVOLUTION

Escape from Marie de Médicis of the castle of Blois.

Marie de Médicis, locked up with the castle of Blois, was impatient to seize again the capacity.

In the night from the 22 to January 13, 1619, it made draw up a scale to the windows of the second stage, where it remained, and went down boldly.

She threw herself in one fits with body which awaited it, and flees in Angouleme.

Louis XIII driving out with the bird.

Louis XIII resembled of nothing to his father Henri IV: he cold, morose, silent and was dissimulated.

Its only passion was hunting for the bird, i.e.

hunting using falcons, goshawks or will hérons skilfully drawn up.

Albert de Luynes, before being its Prime Minister, had been his falconer.

Fights Bridges of C.

Louis XIII was constrained to make the war with his revolted mother: a combat took place with the Bridges of C, close to Angers: the royal army, ordered by Louis XIII in person, attacked the partisans of the queen: one fought on the bridges, in the island, in the church, and the rebels were finally dislodged (August 1620).

Convoy of the duke of Luynes.

Albert de Luynes was regretted of nobody, not even of the king, who was already tired of his favourite; when one transported his body to his castle, no friend accompanied the convoy, and one tells that during the halts the servants played the charts on his coffin (December 1621).
