occasions to embroil the Nation he wou'd immediately come to Paris to set all things in order He also Congratulated her good Fortune that she had so happily escaped the Snare that was laid for her and added That if she had been taken he wou'd have gone in Person with an Army of Fifty thousand Men into Flanders to set her at Liberty again This Lady had lived till the above-mention'd Affair came to be discover'd in an Hôtel which joyned to Luxemburg-House and which the Queen-Mother had bestowed upon the Cardinal when he was in her Favour upon condition that she might take it into her own hands again whenever she pleas'd paying down the Sum of Thirty thousand Livres When she came to fall out with this Prelate she demanded to have this Hôtel surrender'd to her and having sent for the Contract she found that instead of so many Livres it was Crowns and that instead of whenever she pleased it was when the King commanded it The Queen protested That she never meant to make any such Articles as these and charged the Cardinal with Forgery She Addressed her self to the King to oblige him to deliver it up but His Majesty the more to Mortifie her wou'd have the Cardinal still keep in Possession This ill usage vexed this Princess extreamly but she had farther occasion to complain when being out of France she was inform'd that Combalet lived there and daily receiv'd Visits from Persons of the First Quality who made their Court to her Unkle by going to see her Besides this she made several new alterations in the House for her own Convenience and for this purpose without any more adoe caused part of the Wall belonging to the Palace of Luxemburg to be beaten down 'T is believ'd that it was partly occasion'd by this that the Queen fell upon the design to have Combalet stollen away although there is no question but that she made these Alterations by her Unkle's Orders not being naturally of so haughty a humour as to disoblige the Queen-Mother in so high a point as this was of her own head However when this Design was discover'd she thought her self no longer safe in this House and went to live at her Unkle's Palace where she seldom stirr'd out of doors Monsieur having receiv'd the News of the Duke of Montmorency's Death whose Life he perswaded himself they wou'd have sav'd thought that he should be everlastingly Disgrac'd and that no body for the future wou'd expose themselves to the Minister's Indignation for his sake if he did not express some resentment for so notorious an Affront It was confidently reported that part of his Domesticks wou'd be removed and that some of them should be declar'd not to be of that number in order to punish them as being excluded out of the Treaty which had been concluded with him This made him interpret the Beheading of the Duke of Montmorency to be an Infraction of this Treaty which he said He Sign'd onely out of a supposition that they wou'd give that Nobleman his Life So he parted secretly from Tours on the 6th of November and on the 12th Writ a † See it in the Hist of Lewis XIII by Ch. Bernard Lib. 16. Letter to the King from Montereau Faut-Yonne wherein he vehemently complains of this Violation and tells him That to obtain the Life of that Illustrious Lord his Cousin he had Sacrificed all his own Interests and those of his Followers stifled the justest Resentments dissembled his dearest Affections and even renounced for a time that very duty to which Nature oblig'd him He farther added That he had been given to understand from the Part of the King That if he made the least movement towards Rousillon it should cost the Duke of Montmorency his Life and that he had inferr'd from this Discourse that he might hope for a quite contrary Treatment if he obey'd His Majesty but that after he had made the most Humble Submissions to the King which he cou'd expect from the meanest Subject he had no regard was made of his Honour Towards the close he begg'd His Majesty not to be displeas'd at the Resolution he had taken of endeavouring to find a safe Retreat for his Person among Foreigners since he had just reason to apprehend the consequences of that extraordinary contempt which they had shewn to all his Submissions The King answer'd this Letter on the 25th of the same Month by accusing the Duke of Montmorency whom no body excused and by saying That down-right necessity had constrain'd Monsieur to submit himself however 't is certain that nothing cou'd have hindred him from making the best of his way to Rousillon if he had had the courage to attempt it Thus by the way of * Siri Mem.

Champagne he retired into the Low-Countries and was extreamly well received by the Infanta at Brussels although the Ministers of Spain did not build much upon his Discontent being perswaded that the Cardinal cou'd make him return into France when he pleased by offering him some Advantageous Terms As for the Queen-Mother under a pretence of changing the Air she went to Malines the day before his arrival being displeased with him because in the Treaty of Besiers he was so far from supporting her interest that he did not so much as make any mention of her The Duke of Orleans followed her but cou'd not prevail with her to return to Brussels nor disswade her from the Design she had taken up to go and reside an Ghent He strove to justifie himself by the necessity he lay under to give way to the time that so he might find a way to escape out of the Cardinal's hands till he cou'd do it with more security and come to re-joyn her in the Low-Countries 'T is indeed certain that Gaston who was of a timorous disposition and besides was none of the most able Men in the World cou'd not have done otherwise and the Queen without doubt had pardon'd him this Omission if Father Chanteloube had not inspired her with a coldness for her Son The reason of which was that this good Father cou'd not endure that Puilaurens who had an absolute Ascendant over Monsieur shou'd equal him and he for his part was not of an humour to truckle to any one and had in his time refused to be over-ruled by some People that were infinitely more considerable than Father Chanteloube This inflexible temper on both sides brought them to an open defiance of one another and this caused them to sow that disaffection between the Mother and the Son which gave the Cardinal an opportunity to ruine all their Designs with much more ease than if they had been better united Monsieur sent advice of his departure out of France to the Emperour and to the Kings of England and Spain and desired their Assistance to enable him to make his way into France again The King had before this sent Bautru into Spain to
