Beaufort.

The duke of Beaufort, after having been distinguished under Louis XIII in the Thirty year old war, was one of the principal chiefs of the cabal of Important, then of the Sling: it was called the king of Halles.

When it had made its tender, it was charged with the war against the Barbaresque ones, and was killed by the Turks (1669).

Brawl enters the ambassador of France and that from Spain, in London.

To London, the baron de Vatteville, ambassador of Spain, having disputed precedence with the count d' Estrades, ambassador of France, the two escorts came from there to the hands; the workmen of London took party for Spain; of Estrades had several of its people killed or wounded, its fits with body was put in parts and Vatteville passed the first; but irritated Louis XIV threatened Spain of a war, and obtained from it a bright repair (1662).

Of Lioness.

Colbert gave to France the richness, Louvois the force; Hugues de Lionne gave him alliances.

Secretary of State to the Foreign Affairs of 1663 to 1671, it contributed by his skilful negotiations to the success of the first wars of Louis XIV.

TheSaint-Simon historian calls it the Prime Minister for the reign.

The count de Grammont with Dôle.

The war against Spain was so easy that one could compare it with a military walk.

In Dôle, into Frank-comté, a courtier, the count de Grammont, guaranteed to take the city with him all alone: he presents himself in front of the fortress, amuses the garrison by his jokes, is made open the door, kisses the middle-class men whom he meets and holds to them of so beautiful speeches on the power of king de France, on the horrors of the war and the nuisance to have passed to the son of the sword, which the city decides to capitulate.

Died of the duke of Beaufort.

Louis XIV had been made the chief armed with Catholicism: its fleets drew revenge on the pirates from Tunis and Algiers, but the forwarding of Crystallized was unhappy.

The 6000 men who were sent there to help the Venetian ones against the Turks were crushed under the number in a furious exit, and the duke of Beaufort, descended bravely from his vessel to take his share of the combat, was killed in the fray (June 1669).

The remains of the French troops were re-embarked, and the island of Crystallized fell to the capacity from the Turks.

Louis XIV, who starts to control by itself as of the death of Mazarin, shows by his first acts his desire of size.

He repurchases and strengthens Dunkirk (1662); he forces the king of Spain and the pope to be humiliated in front of him (1662-64); he helps Austria to beat the Turks (1664); he helps Portugal against Spain, and he tests his navy against the Barbaresque ones.

With the death of king d' Espagne, Philippe IV, his father-in-law (1665), it claims in the name of his Marie-Thérèse wife the Spanish Netherlands, removes in Spain any help by skilful negotiations, surprises it by a sudden attack, and after a rapid countryside (1667), it is made yield by the treaty of Aachen (1668) a great part of the Flanders (Lille and Douai).
