Armand-Jean du Plessis, cardinal de RICHELIEU (1585-1642)
L.S. "Le card de Richelieu", Amiens September 29, 1641, to Claude BOUTHILLIER, Superintendent of Finances; 1 page petit in-4, address. About the privileges of the mendicant brothers. "The Mandians of Paris having come to find me for the second time on the subject of their exemptions and anti-ens privileges of the return of wine," he considers it "reasonable to maintain them in their so-called privileges, granting them one muid for each religious. By giving them the right to drink moderately, he gives them the right to pray to God for the health of the King and the prosperity of the business which is dearer to me than my own life"...
