1617. and of Our Raigne the seuenth Signed Lewis and somewhat lower By the King de L'omenie A REMONSTRANCE OF THE PRINCES TO THE FRENCH KING Dated the Fourth of FEBRVARY SIR YOur most Humble and most Faithfull Subiects and Seruants the Dukes Peeres ancient Officers of your Crown and principal Lords of your Kingdome seeing the dangers which inviron you and the euills which threaten your State with an inevitable subuersion if speedy order be not taken and that they are denied all accesse vnto your Person wherewith they might freely and securely discouer the causes and propound the remedies thereof doe in all humilitie beseech your Maiestie to take in good part this their most humble Remonstrance which cannot but well befit their mouthes sithence it doth testifie nothing but fidelitie and affection vnto your seruice to the conseruation of your Sacred Person and the good of your States And it is by so much the more conuenient because they are thereunto obliged both by Diuine and Humane Lawes by the Oath which they haue taken and the dutie which they owe vnto your Crowne We are not ignorant that the euill is disguised by those who doe it and who labour by all possible meanes to couer it as well as commit it still indeuouring to make those distastfull vnto your Maiestie who complaine thereof And the vnhappinesse of France is such that they hauing all the power of your Estate in their hands they cause you to hold your faithfullest seruants for Enemies But the violence of their Tyrannicall carriage is growne to that excesse that it cannot longer be indured The complaints of it are generall euery one seeth it and feeles the miserable effects And their Artifices can no longer hinder the cryes and publique griefe from striking your Maiesties eares and from mouing your compassion to releeue your People and your iustice against the Authours of so great miseries which euery one knoweth and openly detesteth And by a common vow of your faithfull Subiects are destined to iust punishment according to their demerits The insatiable ambition and auarice of the Marquesse of Anchre and his Wife is the only cause of the euils we are sensible of of the disorders we see and of that wee feare most This is the vlcer which hath festered yea spoyled the whole body of your State It is of him only that men doe complaine and of the Ministers and Executors of his violent and raging passions and no other This is the complaint of the greatest part of your Subiects who as yet haue true French hearts who seeing themselues compassed about with feare and apprehensions and exposed to all manner of dangers by the intestine conspiracies which ayme at the ruine of your State doe implore your Iustice to protect them from the oppression and seruitude vnto which those persons would make them subiect and for to free your Crowne from the many disasters which now increase to the ouerthrow of the same The remedy SIR is in your own hands and in your power which if you doe not make vse of the disease will shortly grow incurable And therefore to shunne it the cause must be taken away which being knowne vnto you there needeth now no other thing then your word only to giue order that the Marquesse of Anchre with his Wife and Adherents be chased from your Sacred Person and from the Queene your Mother And to giue way vnto Iustice that it may duly punish them for those crymes whereof they are culpable touching your State Euery man well knoweth what deceit hee hath vsed since the death of the last King of most happy memory to draw vnto himselfe th' entire and absolute Administration of your Kingdome to make himselfe Master of your Councels of your Treasure of your Armes and of your Fortresses to dispose of your publique Offices and Charges your Fauours and Pardons because hee would bee the sole Iudge of Honours and Dignities and dispose of the life and death of your Subiects The courses hee hath taken to banish the Princes of the Bloud from the Court and to breed discord betweene them are not vnknowne and likewise of the rest of the Princes Officers of your Crowne and principall Lords of the Kingdome The practizes and corruptions which he hath vsed to weaken and depresse the authoritie of your Parliaments and violently to choke the lawfull freedom of their Remonstrances imprison your chiefe Officers and

make a diuision through all the orders of your Kingdome that hee might haue the whole disposing of them and raigne alone within the State as he doth now with an insupportable presumption and insolency supposing that nothing can resist his ambitious Dessignes seeing that through extreme wrong and iniustice hee hath imprisoned the first Prince of your Bloud and by this audacious Action violated the publike faith of the Treatie of Loudun ' vpon the obseruation of which did depend the repose and tranquillity of your State which he had rather plunge into the calamities of a Warre then to haue the maske of your Royall Authority taken from him whereof hee makes his benefit and vseth it as an Instrument for the destruction of your most faithful Subiects These things are so manifest his proiects guile so plainly discouer'd that no doubt can bee made hereof And the strange proceedings and violence which he vseth euery day vnder your Maiesties name against the Duke of Neuers vpon so notorious pretexts and forged imputations that euen the voice of the people serueth for proofe enough to refute them do witnes sufficiently that the conspiracy is generall against all the Princes and Nobles of your Kingdome who will not stoupe to his tyranny and can resist his plots which he continually puts in execution thereby to subuert the State For what offence is the same Dukes sauing only that he is a Prince of the most renowned Houses of your Kingdomes one that loues his Countrey seekes the peace of it and who hath alwaies testified his zeale vnto your seruice and acknowledgeth no other Authority lawfull then your Maiesty Hee complaineth of some iniurie done him by one of his Tenants and that in contempt of the dignity of his Office he cannot freely exercise his charge in his Gouernment He hath prosecuted an execution of some feodal rights within his owne possessions by the ordinary means of Iustice as vnwilling to lose that which his Predecessors left him Perceiuing some secret enterpises ready to bee executed vpon his Houses he prouided as indeed he ought for the securing defence and keeping of them vnder your Authority and for your seruice These lawfull and necessary causes are wrested to his rebuke nay are imputed to him as a haynous crime and Rebellion We haue seen the Declaration that hath bin published against him vnder your Maiesties name and the reasonable conditions vnto which hee doth submit himselfe for his triall and make his innocencie appeare which being knowne vnto vs we most humbly beseech your Maiesty to be pleased to protect the same and not to suffer it to be oppressed violēced by the Marquesse of Anchre whose outrages and offences we can no longer dissemble because our long patience hath not hitherto serued for ought else then for to render it more audacious and insolent that we be no more vpbraided that our affection is so small vnto your Maiesty that we are so ingratefull to out Country so disloyal and vnprofitable vnto our selues and to our Posterity as to be silent when we behold the prodigious fauour of this Stranger trampling thus insolently on the throate of your State holding prisoner in his hands the first Prince of your Bloud treading vnder foot both Lawes and Magistrates emptying your Coffers by his profusions consuming your people with excessiue charges and causing your Subiects to be trecherously murthered without any punishment at all And for recompence of such trechery and disloyalty conferring vpon them the Gouernments of your places deposing and discharging the chief Officers of your Councels and Parlements bereauing them of those Titles Honors which their Age their Vertue and their Deserts haue purchased them for to establish in their places his creatures who are persons altogether vnworthy and vnexperienced for the manageing of your State being men borne in bondage and therefore enemies to all honest men and most proper to execute his passions what detrement soeuer may ensue thereby to your seruice holding nothing vnlawful which may aduance his passionate dessignes This is that which hath induced vs thus humbly to beseech your Maiesty to consider the miserable estate wherinto your Kingdome is now brought and to apply by your Wisdome and Authority the necessary remedy which dependeth vpon your own wil and not to suffer either your name or your Armes to be employed to the effusion of your Subiects bloud and oppression of your Domesticall seruants for the maintaining of Strangers to their preiudice but to banish them for euer from you and by the chastisement and due punishment of the guiltie reestablish confidence and security in your Kingdom repaire the publike Faith which hath bin broken and set the Prince of Condé at liberty And to the end that order may be taken by conuenient meanes against the disorders of your State to cause the Treaty of Loudun to be obserued call againe vnto you and into your Councels the Princes of your Bloud with the rest of the Princes Dukes Peeres and the ancient Officers of your Crowne and Counsellers of State whom the deceased King vsed during his Raigne who also by naturall affection and as being particularly interessed as strictly oblieged to the conseruation of your State And then we shall haue the happinesse to render you in all security euery man according to his Ranke Dignity and Place that most humble seruice and faithfull obedience which wee owe you and which whilest we liue we wil yeeld you as being Soissons the fourth of February 1617.
