LOUIS XIII. Letter signed "Louis" TO PRINCE DE CONDE. Paris, December 18, 1626. One p. in-8, address on spine with remnants of red wax armorial stamps, small angular lack. "Mon cousin, aiant fait une assemblee de notables en ma ville de Paris pour avoir leurs advis sur les reglemens que je désire faire pour la reformation de mon Estat, j'ai bien voulu vous en informer avant qu'ils passent outre et vous depecher le sr de Guron [Jean de Rechignevoisin] sur ce subjet pour vous faire connoitre que je seray toujours bien ayse de vous don[n]er part de ce que je delibereray pour le bien de mon royaume, m'asurant que vous le souhetés co[m]me vous y estes obligé, m'estant ce que vous estes, ce qui me convira d'autant plus a vous temoygner la continuation de mon aff[ecti]on d'aussi bon cœur que je prie Dieu, mon cousin, qu'il vous tienne en sa s[ain]te garde... " HENRI II DE BOURBON-CONDE (1588-1646), RIVAL IN LOVE WITH HENRI IV AND REPENTED REBEL: although of Protestant lineage, he was raised Catholic at the express request of the Pope, who demanded this to enable Henry IV's absolution. After marrying Marie de Médicis, the king removed the Prince de Condé from the succession to the throne and, in love with Charlotte-Marguerite de Montmorency, had her marry him in the hope, in return for favors, that he would be a complaisant husband. A serious quarrel ensued, and the prince left France to keep his wife away from the enamored sovereign, even fighting against French troops in Italy for a time. Returning to France after the assassination of Henri IV, the Prince de Condé took part in the rebellions at the beginning of Louis XIII's reign, but later made a submission that proved to be sincere, even agreeing to marry his son (the future Grand Condé) to a great-cousin of Richelieu: he reaped important benefits, such as the government of Burgundy, and the inheritance of his brother-in-law the Marshal Duc de Montmorency (beheaded in 1632 for treason).
