By the beginning of 1614 a combination of minor grievances arising from court squabbles, together with a general feeling among the great nobles that they were not having enough say in the government, led the Prince de Condé and a number of other nobles to leave the court and raise troops in their local strongholds. They received little popular support and by the summer a settlement had been reached. In this pamphlet, the Queen replies to Condé's letter in which she expresses her pleasure at the Prince's resolutions to preserve the peace and reform the disorders of the realm. All complaints should be brought before the Estates General which the Queen agreed to summon. ; Electronic reproduction ; 7 p. ; 16 cm.

In 1609 the Duke of Julich, a rich prince whose territories lay in the Rhineland, had died without issue. His only heirs were his cousins the Elector of Brandenburg and the Duke of Neuburg, both of whom were Protestants. Henry IV was bent on supporting the claims of these princes. The Emperor, meanwhile had sent an army to occupy Julich. In reply, Henry IV announced his intention of putting himself at the head of an army to expel the Emperor's troops. The conquest of Julich came in August, 1610, after the monarch's death and at the instruction of the Queen, Marie de Medicis, and her counselors. This pamphlet outlines the articles of surrender given to the troops occupying the garrison at Julich. ; Electronic reproduction ; 8 p. ; 16 cm.

See previous entry. On December 31, 1584 the Treaty of Joinville was signed between the Guises and Spain. Philip of Spain undertook to pay the Guises 50,000 écus per month so long as they made war in France to exterminate the Protestant religion and to place the Cardinal of Bourbon on the throne. This pamphlet states the reasons for the alliance of the Cardinal, prelates, and all good christians against the Huguenots. They accuse the Protestants of subverting the religion of France and destroying the realm. Because the Protestants have raised armies, because by corruption they have taken money from the King's treasury, and because the Protestants have caused the government to fall into shambles, the Cardinal de Bourbon has allied himself to others to oppose the Protestants in whatever way necessary.
