- The Fronde
- An alliance of French nobles and the judges of the Parlement
during the minority of Louis XIV who resented the Regent,
Anne of Austria and Mazarin, her Italian foreign minister, and who supported
parliamentary reforms to limit the power of the monarchy. Between 1648 and
1652, the debate escalated into civil war. Royal troops besieged Paris, which
was controlled by the Frondists. Lully's first patron, Mlle. de Montpensier,
was a leader in the Fronde. The defeat of the Fronde in
1652, returned power to the monarchy.
