Mémoires Du Cardinal De Retz, De Guy Joli, Et De La Duchesse De Nemours: Notice Sur Guy Joli. Mémoires De Guy Joli [French]

By Claude Joly

This volume brings together the memoirs of three prominent figures from 17th-century France: Cardinal de Retz, Guy Joli, and the Duchess of Nemours. Jean Fran ois Paul de Gondi, Cardinal de Retz, was a key player in the Fronde, a series of civil wars in France. His memoirs provide a fascinating insider's account of the political intrigues and power struggles of the era. Guy Joli served as the Cardinal's secretary and his memoirs offer a more personal perspective on the Cardinal's life and times. The memoirs of the Duchess of Nemours provide a valuable female perspective on the French court and society of the period. Together, these memoirs offer a rich and detailed portrait of a turbulent period in French history. This edition includes a notice on Guy Joli, enriching the historical context.
