Memoirs of Marshal Duke de Richelieu (Classic Reprint)

By M.F. Barriere

Excerpt from Memoirs of Marshal Duke De Richelieu

His father marries him against his will, at fourteen, to Mademoiselle de Noailles then straightway presents him at Versailles and at Marly, where the ladies of the court nickname him Ike little doll, and begin to dote on him. But the outbreaks of the young duke soon compel the father to request of the King his son's imprisonment in the Bastille. There, during fourteen months, Richelieu has for his solitary diversion the daily visits of his young wife and the lessons of the learned Abb de saint-remy. He takes the instruction, but he accords his wife none of the intimate privacies she has the right to, and which she tries vainly to obtain from him.
