Mazarin Attacked: A Moment of Political Turmoil in 17th Century France This evocative image captures the tumultuous political climate of 17th century France, as Cardinal Jules Mazarin is dragged from his carriage by roughs, allegedly hired by his enemies. The year was 1650, and Mazarin, a key advisor to Queen Regent Anne of Austria and the de facto ruler of France, was a prominent figure in French politics. The circumstances surrounding this incident are shrouded in controversy. Some historians believe that Mazarin's enemies, who were opposed to his growing power and influence, orchestrated the attack as a means of discrediting him. Others argue that the entire episode was a put-up job, staged by Mazarin himself to garner public sympathy and strengthen his position. Regardless of the truth, the image of Mazarin being attacked in the streets of Paris was a powerful one, and it would have resonated deeply with the people of France. The roughs, dressed in leather jerkins and brandishing swords and clubs, were a stark reminder of the violence and instability that could erupt at any moment in the tumultuous world of French politics. Despite the danger, Mazarin continued to serve as the chief minister of France until his death in 1661. His tenure was marked by a series of military and diplomatic successes, including the capture of the Franche-Comté region from Spain and the signing of the Peace of the Pyrenees with Spain. This historic print, from the vast archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political intrigue and instability of 17th century France, and the lengths to which powerful figures would go to maintain their power and influence.
