Collection of 65 pieces, some in verse, published in the period 1619-1621, the year in which Luynes died. The Duc de Luynes was allowed all real power after Louis XIII had forced the Queen-Mother into exile in 1617. The next four years, which ended with the death of de Luynes, saw the unedifying spectacle of two revolts made by the Queen-Mother, supported by various great noblemen, against her own son and de Luynes, and an armed rising of the Huguenots. He died in 1624 in a campaign against the Huguenots of Béarn. Only with the rise to power of Richelieu in 1624 did the monarchy become master of the situation at home. - Equally browned throughout, copy with generous margins. ‎
