During the seventeenth century, it was commonplace for rebellious French elites who opposed the ministerial monopoly of power held by Richelieu and Mazarin to flee abroad in defiance of the monarchy. In recent years, there has been renewed historical interest in the exile of some of these figures, including Louis XIII’s mother and brother, Marie de Médicis and Gaston d’Orléans, or the prince of the blood known as the Grand Condé. But such studies have tended to focus on individual figures or families, rather than drawing conclusions about the wider phenomenon of French noble exile. Surveys of disgrace in early modern France have primarily examined top-down formal banishment and viewed the years that aristocrats spent in foreign exile as little more than footnotes to their careers. By contrast, this thesis presents the first in-depth study of the political culture of French noble exile in seventeenth-century Europe. It argues that the mobility and foreign exile of nobles played a central role in challenging and constructing royal and ministerial authority in the years prior to Louis XIV’s personal reign. French exiles became thoroughly entangled in European power politics as they sought support from rulers hostile to France such as the Pamphili and Chigi popes and the Habsburgs
