The Carnivational of Louis Thoreton

Louis Thoreton was Chief Minister from 1624 to his death in 1642. He is traditionally considered and I think rightly so to be perhaps the greatest of the free statesmen. And then last but not least comes Mazarou who was who led a particularly fascinating picaresque sort of existence. Was born in Italy, Julia Mazarini and he started his career as a papal soldier and then diplomat.
