520 _aOn June 2, 1617, the Estates of Languedoc shared with Louis XIII the joy they felt about the announcement of the death of the maréchal d’Ancre: God had fortunately made him a part of the absolute government of his kingdom. Then, all at once, they refused to grant him the 180 000 livres that he had asked them for. This move suggests the ambiguity that still surrounded the notion of absolute power: in the eyes of the members of the assembly, Concini embodied an authoritarian, absolutist tendency; his elimination, which removed the screen separating the sovereign from his subjects, portended, they hoped, an “absolute government” that would listen to the governed. In this regard, the execution of Concini was an earlier version of the Day of the Dupes.
