Queen consort of France (1575–1642) as the second wife of King Henry IV of France. She herself was a member of the wealthy and powerful House of Medici. LS in French, signed “Marie,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 8.5 x 13.75, docketed February 12, 1614. Historically important royal letter signed as Queen Regent of France (1610-1617) during Louis XIII’s minority. Translated in part, “I nonetheless wanted to write you this letter to tell you the displeasure that I feel to learn, more by common rumor than otherwise, that my nephew the Prince of Condé and the other princes who have separated themselves from our court claim to have some discontent. And all the more so in that I do not think I have given them the occasion to feel thus. And in fact when they left here they took leave of the King my lord my son and of me and they promised to return when they would be ordered to for his service...I have resolved by the advice and counsel of the first officers of the crown and other principals around us to send my cousin the Duke of Nantadour and the Lord of Boissin to my said nephew the Prince of Condé to pray and invited him to return here to take the rank and authority that he should have, and to assist us with his counsel.” In fine condition.
