king. After Richelieu's death the pretensions of the parlement in-creased; the hereditary magistrature arrogated to itself the functions of the states-general, and in 1648 the parlement with the other See also:sovereign courts (the cour See also:des aides, the See also:grand conseil, and the cour des cornptes) met in one assembly and proposed for the royal See also:sanction twenty-seven articles, which amounted in substance to a new constitution. In the See also:long conflict between See also:Anne of See also:Austria and the parlement, Mole, without yielding the rights of the parlement, played a conciliatory part. In the popular tumult known as the See also:day of the barricades (Aug. 26, 1648) he sought out See also:Mazarin and the See also:queen to demand the release of See also:Pierre Broussel and his colleagues, whose seizure had been the See also:original cause of the outbreak. Next day the parlement marched in procession to repeat Mole's demand. On their way back they were stopped by the See also:crowd. " Turn, traitor," said one of the rebels to Mole, seizing him by the See also:- BEARD (A.S. beard, O. H. and Mod. Ger. Bart, Dan. beard, Icel. bar, rim, edge, beak of a ship, &c., O.

beard, " and unless you wish to be massacred, either bring back Broussel, or bring Mazarin as a See also:hostage." Many magistrates fled; the remnant, headed by the intrepid mole, returned to the Palais Royal, where Anne of Austria was induced to release the prisoners.
Mol'e's moderating counsels failed to prevent the outbreak of the first See also:Fronde, but he negotiated the See also:peace of See also:Rueil in 1651, and averted a conflict between the partisans of See also:Conde and of the See also:Cardinal de See also:Retz within the precincts of the Palais de See also:Justice. He refused honours and rewards for himself or his See also:family, but became keeper of the See also:seals, in which capacity he was compelled to follow the See also:court, and he therefore retired from the See also:presidency of the parlement. He died on the 3rd of See also:January 1656.
The Memoires of Mole were edited for the Societe de 1'histoire de See also:France (4 vols., 1855) by Aime See also:Champollion-See also:Figeac, and his See also:life was written by See also:Baron A. G. P. de See also:Barante in Le Parlement et la Fronde (1859). See also the See also:memoirs of Omer Talon and of De Retz.
