D.L.R. sur les brigues à la mort de Louys XIII 1662. Scarce.<br /><br />La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680 began writing his memoirs whilst recovering from a head-injury sustained at the battle of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris in 1652. They survive as an important record of life at the court of Louis XIII the infamous Cardinal Mazarin's rise to power and the period of aristocratic discontent that culminated in the Fronde rebellion of 1648-1653.<br /><br />The Mémoires were initially circulated privately before their unauthorised publication in 1662. La Rochefoucauld disowned this book and the modern academic consensus is that 'Less than half the work is by him and that very defective. The "Wars of Paris" is spurious; the "Retreat of the Duke de Longueville" pp 113-128 is by Saint-Evremond; the "Apologie for the Duke de Beaufort" is by Guillaume Girard' ESTC.<br /> ESTC R12738.
