in these deuices wayes and practices which they did publiquely attempt euen in our Court by those which did approach neere vnto them We thought good at the same instant when our Brother withdrew himselfe from vs to acquaint the Lady our Mother with the intelligence we had of all their practices and deuices which they vsed to our great prejudice and with our resolution which we had taken for the stopping of that course As namely to take into hold and durance some persons which we knew to participate in their designes and to banish the rest from our Court. Also we desired entreated her to this end to assist vs with her best counsell as formerly shee had done within these few yeares and to leaue separate her selfe from all the secret intelligences which she had or might haue with our foresaid Brother who was then departed from vs. We persisted in this our supplication euen to Campaguis where we made knowne vnto her diuers other instances by our trusty and welbeloued the Lord Chastean-newf Keeper of the Scale and our trusty and welbeloued Cousen the Marshal de Schomb●rgh vnto both which shee answered that shee was weary any longer to intermeddle with our affaires that she would no more haue any share nor be partaker with our Counsels which caused vs too too confidently to vnderstand and beleeue the firme resolution which she had taken to remaine linked and joyned to the designes of our said Brother and to follow and be led by the pernicious counsels which were giuen him Whereupon we resolued and determined to separate our selues for a while from her and to entreate her to withdraw herselfe and retire to Moulins a place which properly belongs vnto her and which place during the time of our minoritie shee voluntarily chose for her owne abode Vnto this she gaue answer that then she would willingly goe thither but a few dayes afterward shee requested vs to thinke it expdient and fitting that shee might betake her selfe to Neuers Which she was so much inclining vnto and did affect because she had a desire to approach and draw neerer to our said Brother who was then as yet at Orleans A while after this learning and perceiuing that our said Brother in his proceedings vsed many deuices and cunning practices striuing and endeauouring to assemble together many warlike troupes wee inuited him by our welbeloued Cousin the Cardinall de Valette to absent and separate himselfe from all those wicked counsels and to returne againe to vs where we promised him that he should receiue all good and fauourable contentment which he refusing to doe and to haue correspondencie and to joyne with our good meaning and intention we journyed as farre as Eltampes where presently we were informed that he was departed from Orleans so to retire and leaue our Kingdome where he was no sooner departed but our said Mother sent vs word that shee would no longer goe either to Moulins or Neuers and that shee desired not to depart out of Champaguie and at the very same time shee and our said Brother did deuise and effect to publish and divulge this rumour that shee was detained in prison notwithstanding shee had all liberty afforded her with her traine either to goe to Moulins or Neuers although in those places there was no Garrison But as this supposed imprisonment serued for a pretence of discontentment vnto those that waited for such an occasion and opportunity so she continued this false complaint notwithstanding that daily our Cousin the Marshall Destree and also the Lord Marquesse of St Sch●●●●out did aduertise her in our behalfe which two wee haue many seuerall times sent vnto her that shee would bee pleased to depart out of Campagnie and to chuse such a place within our Kingdome as shee should thinke most fitting for her abiding offering her to the end shee might abide there with the more respect and authority the gouernment of that Prouince into the which shee would betake her selfe forthwith declaring and making known vnto her that her remaining still in Champagnie gaue vnto vs great cause of jealousie suspicion forasmuch as we were certainly enformed they did perswade her to depart out of our Kingdome vnto which shee would no way condescend nor thereby be perswaded faining many causes of complaint as among others that we would haue sent her vnto Italie and that our Gallyes were ready prepared for the same purpose Then wee sent vnto her our said Cousin the Marshall of Shombergh and the Lord de Roissye Counsellor in our Councell of State to desire her to conforme her selfe to our will and pleasure and to resolue with herselfe to depart out of Champagnie and to choose such a place within our Kingdome which shee might like of for her dwelling onely Champagnie excepted To the end that those pretences might cease of those who had entised our said Brother to forsake our Kingdome and that they might not haue so much as any appearance to ground their reports vpon of our Mothers imprisonment Nay which is more they two in our name proffered vnto her the gouernment of Anion which shee complained shee was bereaued of and that the same was taken from her although indeed shee had of her owne accord abandoned the same for some considerations best knowne to her selfe They vrged also vnto her and shewed her that it was very requisite for the good of our affaires and that it would proue very aduantagious to her selfe if shee would be pleased to conforme her selfe to our will and intentions But whatsoeuer reasons they could lay before her it was impossible to diuert and draw her from her strong resolution which shee had taken to abide in Champagnie for to bring to passe the designe which since that time shee hath executed Notwithstanding all this her resistance to testifie more and more our affection towards her and the earnest desire wee haue to re-unite her vnto vs we caused those troupes to be remoued which we had left in Champagnie and since that did diuers times send to her our said Cousin the Marshall Destree and the Marquis de St Shanmont to reiterate the request which so often we had made vnto her that shee would choose any other place than Champagnie for her abode Yea we proffered her to come and visite her in her house at Monceana or some other place in the way to Blois Anger 's or Moulins if shee went thither to the end that wee might be reconciled together This in appearance shee seemed to agree vnto and willing to embrace which gaue vs great contentment and abundant satisfaction supposing that this also was the way to reduce our said brother to his deuoir and to remoue all those pretences which the foresaid euill Authors of bad counsell did make vse of But when wee beleeued that our said Mother was well contented with vs and was most ready and willing to follow our good intention which wee had for our common good

and the good and happinesse of the whole Kingdome of France which hope we conceiued by the answer deliuered vnto vs by our said Cousin the Marshall Destree who brought vs word that shee would neuer depart out of Campagnie to goe into any other place without our knowledge and consent But all this proued but a shadow for in lieu of performance we vnderstood that shee was departed out of Campagnie the 19. of the last Moneth in a Caroch of the Lady du Fresney accompanied with the said Lady onely and one of her Chamber-maidens and so passed along to Chosy and Bleren Court and there arriued at the Village of Rosny where she found the Caroch of the Baron of Creuecoeur Gouernour of Auennes a Towne in the obedience of the King of Spaine which Gouernour had expected her himselfe 15. dayes in the Towne of Sein where being arriued a Gentleman of the Marquisse de Vardes told her that the Lord Vardes the father was arriued at Capelle and had banished thence his sonne and his wife and hereupon shee went to Auennes where shee was receiued and a while after visited in the behalfe of the Infant by the Prince d'Espinoy Gouernour of Enhault as since that time wee haue learned by the enquirie which wee haue caused to bee made concerning her departure out of our Kingdome by one of our Masters of Requests at the very same time when shee departed from Champagnie And since that to follow the same course which our said Brother had taken shee sent a request to our said Court of Parliament of Paris full of forged and calumnious accusations against our said Cousin the Cardinall of Richelien very like vnto the same which our Brother would haue laid vpon him Shee was no sooner arriued at the said place of Auenues but she did presently write letters vnto vs full of inuented pretences to colour her departure and the like complaints against our said Cousin the Cardinall which haue no ground at all nor foundation but onely slanders and inuentions which doubtlesse haue beene suggested vnto her by the Authors of those same which our Brother wrote vnto vs which is euident enough especially since both the one and other doe tend to the subuersion of our Authority and of our Kingdome and State and wee know that her departure hath beene plotted by those Agents which they haue at Bruxels to cause her to retire as shee hath done into a Countrey vnder the command of the King of Spaine But shee not resting contented with the first slanders and calumnies which shee wrote vnto vs abusing our goodnesse and lenity and the mildnesse which hitherto we haue vsed towards them that haue beene the bringers of the same shee hath begun to write others and new slanders to our said Court of Parliament and to the Prouost of the Merchants of our good Citie of Paris striuing to incense them against vs and to giue bad examples to others Now therefore desiring to preuent all those euils which may ensue and accrew by the departure of the said Lady our Mother and our said Brother in this estate and to hinder them that they continue and encrease not through the credit which some of our Subjects might afford vnto their complaints and inuentions written and manifested to be full of impostures which they publish against vs our Gouernment and our principall Ministers of State and to the end that none of our said Subjects be not so rash and ill aduised as to adhere vnto them and participate of their euill counsels to adjoyne vnto them or haue any priuate intelligence with them or those that follow them Wee doe make knowne by this present that with the ad●… of the Princes Dukes Peeres Officers of our Crowne and 〈◊〉 great and eminent personages of our Counsell which are ●…re about vs Wee confirming our precedent declarations of 30. of March and 5. of Iune last haue pronounced and declared and doe pronounce and declare by this present signed with our owne hand guilty of Crimenlaesae Majestatis and disturbers of our common peace and rest all those that shall bee found to haue participated to such pernicious and damnable Counsels or haue withdrawne our said Mother and our onely Brother the Duke of Orleans from our obedience and haue inticed or instigated them to depart out of our Kingdome As also all those that shall haue followed them and departed with them of whatsoeuer ranke or condition they be with all those that shall assist them or haue leuied or raised any souldiers against our seruice and made any deuices or practices prejudiciall to our authority as well without as within the Kingdome Wee will therefore that there be proceeded against them as against those that are guilty of Crimenlaesae Majestatis and disturbers of our common peace according to the rigour of our Lawes with all the diligence that may bee both of our Proctors Generall as also their Substitutes and Deputies And hereby wee prohibite and vtterly forbid all our Subjects of whatsoeuer quality or condition they be from hauing any intelligence or correspondencie with our said Mother and our said Brother and with their domesticke seruants and those that are partakers of their Counsels vnder whatsoeuer pretences it may be And wee wish that all their Lordships and whatsoeuer honourable priuiledges they enjoy mouing vnder our Crowne be seised vpon and afterward re-united to our owne reuenues that they be depriued of all dignities places or offices whatsoeuer they enjoy And that all their other goods as well moueables as immoueables be seised and praysed afterward to be by vs taken from them and confiscated And further we will that all those that leuie any souldiers or maintaine any forces without our Commission be earnestly pursued and dealt with all according to the rigour of our Lawes and Ordinances ●…ed because it is a very difficult matter to hinder and preue●… di●… said Mother and Brother and such as follow them and adhere 〈◊〉 them from sending and writing to those to whom they thinke good and because it were vnreasonable and ill-beseeming that those to whom they send or write vnto should incurre the penalties here prescribed Wee will and ordaine that those to whom these Letters shall be addressed shall be bound as soone as euer they shall haue receiued the same or as soone as any one shall come vnto them in their behalfe to declare it and carrie those letters to the chiefe Iudge Royall in that Prouince in which they dwell and cause these if they can to be staid and arrested which shall bring these letters to them or be trusted with any message to them which Iudge shall be bound instantly to send the said letters to the Secretary of State who hath the deportment of that Prouince And if this happen in our Court they shall addresse themselues to our beloued and trusty Keeper of the Seale And if it happen in our Citie of Paris they shall be bound to acquaint the Lieutenant of the Citie and hee shall be bound to acquaint vs as soone as possible may be and all this vnder the same penaltie To this end we will and command all our beloued and faithfull Counsellors and those of our Court of Parliaments to cause this to be read published and registred and the contents of the same to bee executed in euery particular according to their forme and tenour As also our Proctors Generall to make all diligent and earnest enquirie and necessary pursuit for the punishment of the delinquents And farther we charge and command all Gouernours Lieutenants Generall of Prouinces Gouernours and Captaines of our townes and places to fall vpon all disobedient and rebels and to suppresse them as farre as in them lyes with their forces which they command for our seruice as also in time of neede to assemble forces to that end and purpose And all Iudges to execute iudgement against the offendor And the Prouosts of

the union and concord betweene your selfe and my sonne D'Orleans which he hath already overthrowne in your mind by his severall devises You may if you please yeeld a remedy against this great evill and hinder any worse proceeding by your good Iudgment and understanding If I may be so happy as to returne againe to you I promise faithfully I will cause you to know that in any thing I ought I have never esteemed any dearer to me then your good and Vtility Since I am MONS my Sonne Your most humble and most affectioned Mother and subiect MARIE Avennes the 21. Iuly 1631. Answer of the King to the Letter of the Queene his Mother MADAME I Am so much the more moued at your resolution which you haue taken to absent your selfe from this State and Kingdome by how much you had lesse ground and cause The imaginary imprisonment the supposed persecutions which you complaine of the apprehensions which you confesse your selfe to haue conceiued in Campagnie concerning your life they haue no more foundation than the pursuite which you say was made after you at your departure and the intelligence which you write vntome hath beene held with the onely Sonne of the Lord de Vardes Their intentions are a deuice somewhat like vnto that feare which you fained to haue three moneths agoe that I would send you backe againe into Italic which you know I neuer thought much lesse euer intended For those proffers which I haue made you of diuers and seuerall dwellings and habitations farre remote from those parts can testifie the contrary Such calumnies and accusations shall not God be blessed disgrace and dis-repute me in Christendome where my actions do sufficiently make me knowne Whatsoeuer you tell me of those that serue me and are neere vnto me hath not so much as an appearance of truth And I wonder and am euen astonished that the Authors of your letters are not ashamed to set before your eyes such things against those vnto whom your conscience knowes that such things cannot be imputed I doe perceiue and know by manifold infallible proofes the affection and sincerity of my Cousen the Cardinall of Richel●●● His religious obedience which hee affords mee his faithfull care concerning whatsoeuer doth concerne my person and estate speakes for him If you please Madame you shall permit and giue me leaue to tell you that the action which you haue so lately done and what hath passed not long since causeth that I cannot be ignorant what hath beene your intention heretofore and what I may expect in the time to come The respect which I bare you makes me forbeare of saying any thing more vnto you I pray the Lord in the meane while to giue you good counsell And that you may alwayes preuaile with his affections who shall alwayes be Madame Yours The French Kings Declaration vpon the departure of the Queene his Mother and Monsieur his Brother out of the Kingdome Confirmed at the Parliament at Paris the 13. day of August 1631. faithfully translated out of the French Copy LEwis by the grace of God King of France and Nanarre to all those vnto whom these presents shall come greeting Wee haue by our Letters of Declaration the 30. of March last past published throughout our whole Kingdome for the causes contained therein declared all those guiltie of Crimen lasa Maiestatis who abusing the facility of our wel beloued and onely Brother the Duke of Orleans did by their euill deuices and pernicious counsels intice and perswade him to withdraw himselfe from vs and to depart out of our Kingdome without our knowledge and permission as also all those that should be found to be his followers if in a certaine prefixed time they did not take recourse to our Grace and Mercie hauing hoped by this meanes to giue them leisure to find out and acknowledge their fault and so to reduce them vnto their duties and thereby cause them to depart and abstaine from all euill wayes and practises which they had begun as well within as without the Kingdome to trouble the rest and peace of the same But in stead of vsing this meanes to repent them of their fault and to take their refuge to our clemencie and fauour they haue persisted in their euill counsels and carried away our Brother against the duty of his birth and the respect which hee oweth vs and instigated him to write vnto vs letters full of bitternesse calumnies impostures and accusations against the Administration and Gouernment of our State striuing and aiming by those said letters full of injuries and falsenesse with other writings of the like nature which they haue caused to be printed euery where to perswade our people to bee ill conceited of vs and by them and other Princes our neighbours to haue sinister opinions of our affaires and gouernment accusing against all truth and reason our welbeloued Cousin the Cardinal Richelieu of infidelitie and of enterprizing against our person and the person of our much honoured Mother his owne and our Estate as also some others which wee do employ in our Gouernment euen about the most weightiest matters of our Estate of adhering to his euill counsels notwithstanding that from them wee doe receiue the greatest contentment that wee can desire Yea they haue beene so bold and audacious as that they did dare to present a request to our Court of Parliament vnder the name of our said Brother against our foresaid Cousin the Cardinall Richelieu in like manner as the former full of falsenes forged calumnies contrary to all humanity reason and truth Which caused vs to answer our said Brother and by our letters the 5. of Iune last published in our Chancery to declare our good intention and meaning and the exceeding satisfaction which we haue receiued by the seruice faithfulnesse and good carriage of our aforesaid Cousin the Cardinall in so many great and weighty occasions in the which wee haue very profitably employed him for the good and greatnesse of our State as also from the rest our chiefe Counsellers All these meanes notwithhanding haue hitherto serued onely to make them the more impudent and insolent and to continue their enterprizes and pernicious designes which they had begun and vndertaken not onely to diuert our said Brother from the obedience which he oweth vs but also he much honored Lady our Mother who since a short space of i me hath suffered her selfe also to be led away and seduced by their mischieuous counsels and to side with our brother in his designes more than did well become her It may be perhaps by reason of the false and euill rumour which some persons haue spred who make profession of curious and euill sciences giues them hopes of some ready change in this Kingdome Wee perceiuing all these their proceedings and seeing that it was a difficult matter to prouide for the safetie of this Kingdome and our owne person if any longer we should suffer them to goe on
