| Summary | "Madame de Chevreuse" by Victor Cousin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and influence of Marie de Rohan, the Duchess of Chevreuse, exploring her roles in the political intrigues of 17th-century France, particularly her involvement in the events surrounding Cardinal Richelieu and the Fronde. It aims to shed light on the complexities of her character, illustrating how her relationships and ambitions impacted the political landscape of her time. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the historical context of the early 17th century, setting the stage for the significant role of women in politics during this tumultuous period. It provides a vivid description of the character and background of Marie de Rohan, detailing her noble lineage and marriages that align her with key political figures. From her early life and marriage to Duke of Luynes to her subsequent ties with Cardinal Mazarin, the opening establishes her as a pivotal figure navigating the male-dominated power structures of her time, hinting at her involvement in the complex political maneuverings that defined her life.
