 Hugues de Lionne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hugues de Lionne ( October 11, 1611 – September 1, 1671) was a French statesman.
He was born in Grenoble, of an old family of Dauphiné.
He was a man of pleasure, but his natural indolence gave place to an unflagging energy when the occasion demanded it; and, in an age of great ministers, his consummate statesmanship placed him in the front rank.

Born into the lower nobility, Lionne was the nephew of the French diplomat Abel Servien.
In 1659 Lionne negotiated the Treaty of the Pyrenees, which ended a 24-year war with Spain by arranging a marriage between Louis XIV and Marie-Thérèse, daughter of the Spanish king Philip IV.
Lionne was responsible for the treaty's moyennant ("on condition") clause by which Marie-Thérèse renounced her claims to the Spanish throne in return for a large dowry.

This helps explain why Lionne not only recommended Dalibert (who was barely out of his teens) to Cardinal Azzolino but allowed the brash youth to play a role in the settlement of the Corsican affair in 1662 and in the dispute between Louis XIV and Christina of Sweden in 1665.
But Lionne could by-pass Bourlemont and write directly to the potential protector or employer, as he had done when he recommended Dalibert to Cardinal Azzolino, Christina's friend, in 1662; and Retz could by-pass Bourlemont and write directly to Lionne, as he did for Millani.

 Biography of Ludolf Bakhuizen
Willem van de Velde the Younger was also influential and a rival, but after he and his father left for England in 1672–73, Bakhuizen’s position remained unchallenged and he soon became one of the leading painters of seascapes and battle scenes, both historic and imaginary.
Among his most important paintings is the ‘View of the Amsterdam Harbour’ (1665, Louvre, Paris) commissioned by the Council of the city and presented to the French Minister of Finances, Hugues de Lionne.
Although darkly tonal his paintings can be very dramatic, as in the huge storm scene in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, or the lively ‘Merchant shipping anchorage in the Texel’ in the National Maritime Museum, London.

Born at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Louis was regarded as a divine gift by his parents, Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, who had been childless for twenty-three years.
(These circumstances have led some to theorise that Louis XIII was not the boy's biological father.) He was christened "Louis-Dieudonné" (the latter word meaning "God-given"), and received the titles premier fils de France ("First Son of France") and the more traditional title Dauphin de Viennois.
The complex known as the Hôtel des Invalides was built under Louis' orders, to provide a home for officers who had served him loyally in the army but were rendered infirm either through injury or age.
