Marie de Medicis informs the Marechal Lesdiguieres, 1543-1626, in this pamphlet that Condé and the Princes have deserted the Court. She cannot understand their behavior, and justifies the government's actions since 1610. She asks Lesdiguieres to prevent the revolt from spreading. Lesdiguieres, a leader of the Huguenots, thus told his followers that the revolt was not religiously oriented and that it was not a matter which affected the Protestants. Nevertheless Condé succeeded in persuading some Protestants (Rohan) in joining his cause. Lesdiguieres was born in Dauphiné, a province where the Huguenots were firmly established, was brought up as a Protestant and played a leading role in the Wars of Religion. ; Electronic reproduction ; 8 p. ; 16 cm.

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.
