Commentary


Ce jeton est décrit par Jacques de Bie dans son Histoire métallique de la France, Paris, 1636 : "Le corps représente un roy armé de toutes pièces, excepté le chef auguste de la couronne à l'impériale de France : il a son espée ceinte au costé, sur la garde de laquelle il porte la main, tenant le baston de commandement en l'autre. En la partie de l'air, qui se monstre tout obscurcy de nuages, paroist comme à la lueurs des esclairs, un démon contrefaisant le Jupiter par l'eslancement de quelques foudres, qui sont foulez aux pieds par le Monarque représenté. Pour marquer quelque secrète conspiration sagement prévenue par le souverain, qui commença à user absolument de l'authorité de sa naissance et de son sceptre"..
This token is described by Jacques de Bie in his Metallic History of France, Paris, 1636: \\\"The body represents a king fully armed, except for the august head of the imperial crown of France: he has his sword girded at his side, on the guard of which he carries his hand, holding the baton of command in the other. In the part of the air, which appears all obscured by clouds, appears as in the glimmers of lightning, a demon imitating Jupiter by the launching of some thunderbolts, which are trampled underfoot by the represented Monarch. To mark some secret conspiracy wisely prevented by the sovereign, who began to use absolutely the authority of his birth and his scepter.\\\"

Historical background


LOUIS XIII THE JUST

(05/14/1610-05/14/1643)

Louis XIII was born on September 27, 1601. He became king on the assassination of Henri IV on May 14, 1610 and was crowned on October 17, 1610. During his minority, the regency was entrusted to Marie de Médicis. Sully resigned in 1611, Concini became Queen's Counsel and was appointed Marshal of France in 1613. The revolt of the Great forces the Queen to convene the States General in 1614, the last time before the Revolution. The king became an adult at the age of 13 and married Anne of Austria (1601-1666) on November 28, 1615. Richelieu entered the Council in 1616 at the request of Concini who was assassinated on April 24, 1617 by the captain of the guards, Vitry. Louis XIII exiled his mother to Blois then reconciled with her, thanks to Richelieu, in 1619 but Marie revolted again in 1620. In 1621, de Luynes, a friend of Louis XIII, was appointed constable of France. Richelieu is named cardinal in 1622 and enters the Council, he is prime minister in 1624.
