Synopsis
Excerpt from Richelieu
Luçon, dans l election de Fontenay, où sa famille avait en d'anciennes relations; car elle y fonda des sépul tures dès le commencement du xv° siècle. Richelieu attendait l'occasion de se signaler, luttant contre des embarras d'argent, soutenant péniblement un rang supérieur à ses ressources, mais sûr de lui-même et de l'avenir; il écrivait des maximes de conduite pour se gouverner àla cour et obtenirla faveur du roi et rêvait déjà la puissance et la gloire au fond de ce manoir délabré qu'il relevait et ornait dans ses tristes marais du Poitou.
On peut découvrir les premiers symptômes de ses pensées ambitieuses et d'une habileté peu commune, en même temps que d'un grand sens politique, dans la formule de serment qu'il rédigea après le déplorable forfait de Ravaillac, assassin de Henri IV; Richelieu écrivit, en effet, non moins à la louange du roi dé funt, son bienfaiteur, qu'à celle de la nouvelle ré gente, appelée à devenir bientôt sa protectrice, l'acte suivant, véritable préface de sa vie politique.
