Henry IV., and his wife See also:Marie de See also:Medici, was See also:born at See also:Fontainebleau on the 25th of See also:April 16o8. Known at first as the duke of See also:Anjou, he was created duke of Orleans in 1626, and was nominally in command of the See also:army which besieged La Rochelle in 1628, having already entered upon that course of See also:political intrigue which was destined to occupy the See also:remainder of his See also:life. On two occasions he was obliged to leave See also:France for conspiring against the See also:government of his See also:mother and of See also:Cardinal See also:Richelieu; and after waging an unsuccessful See also:war in See also:Languedoc, he took See also:refuge in See also:Flanders.

Louis XIII., he plotted against Richelieu in 1635, fled from the See also:country, and then submitted to the king and the cardinal. Soon afterwards the same See also:process was repeated. Orleans stirred up Cinq-See also:Mars to See also:attempt Riche-lieu's See also:murder, and then deserted his unfortunate See also:accomplice. In 1643, on the See also:death of Louis XIII., Gaston became See also:lieutenant-See also:general of the See also:kingdom, and fought against See also:Spain on the northernfrontiers of France; but during the See also:wars of the See also:Fronde he passed with See also:great facility from one party to the other. Then exiled by See also:Mazarin to See also:Blois in 1652 he remained there until -his death on the 2nd of See also:February 166o. Gaston's first wife was Marie (d. 1627), daughter and heiress of See also:Henri de See also:Bourbon, duc de See also:Montpensier (d. 16o8), and his second wife was See also:Marguerite (d. 1672), See also:sister of See also:Charles III., duke of See also:Lorraine.
