August 24, 1679) was a French churchman, writer of memoirs, and agitator in the Fronde ... The Fronde (French pronunciation: {7f200b}[f̃d]); was a series of civil wars in France between 1648 and 1653, occurring in the midst of the Franco-Spanish War, which had begun in 1635. The word fronde means sling, which Parisian mobs used to smash the windows of supporters of Cardinal Mazarin."--Wikipedia.
