  Jules Cardinal Mazarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As papal vice-legate at Avignon (1632), and nuncio extraordinary in France (1634), Mazarin was perceived as an extension of Richelieu's policy, and under Habsburg pressure, Mazarin was dismissed by Urban VIII, January 17, 1636.
Towards Protestantism at home, Mazarin pursued a policy of promises and calculated delay to defuse the armed insurrection of the Ardèche (1653) for example, and keep the Huguenots disarmed: for six years they believed themselves to be on the eve of recovering the protections of the Edict of Nantes: in the end they obtained nothing.
Mazarin protected the Barberini cardinals, nephews of the late pope, and the Bull against them was voted by the Parliament of Paris "null and abusive"; France made a show of preparing to take Avignon by force, and Innocent backed down.

 Jules Mazarin - Wikipedia
Jules Mazarin (° Pescina, in de Abruzzen, 14 juli 1602 Vincennes 9 maart 1661) was een Frans staatsman van Italiaanse afkomst.
Mazarin studeerde rechten en begaf zich in 1622 in krijgsdienst in het pauselijke leger.
Intussen onderwees Mazarin de jonge koning Lodewijk XIV in de politiek: hij leerde hem van wantrouwen vervuld te zijn tegenover iedere onderdaan, en álles op te offeren aan het staatsbelang, zelfs zijn eer.

Mazarin knew how to keep the Calvinists amused with fine words, promises, and calculated delays: for six years they believed themselves to be on the eve of recovering their privileges, and in the end they obtained nothing.
Mazarin obtained a decree of the Royal Council forbidding money to be remitted to Rome for expediting Bulls, there was a show of preparing an expedition against Avignon, and Innocent X, yielding to these menaces, ended by restoring their property and dignities to Mazarin's protégés, the Barberini.
Mazarin's nieces made princely marriages: Anne Marie Martinozzi became the Princesse de Conti; Laura Martinozzi, the Duchesse de Modène; Laure Mancini died in 1657, Duchesse de Mercoeur; Olympe Mancini became Comtesse de Soissons; Hortense Mancini, Marquise de la Meilleraie and Duchesse de Mazarin; Marie Mancini, Countess Colonna; Marie Anne Mancini, Duchesse de Bouillon.

 Shadow on Earth: Hortense Duchess Mazarin (article) by Grant Hayter-Menzies on AuthorsDen
Hortense Mancini, the next-to-youngest niece of Jules Cardinal Mazarin, emerges from the rich and gloomy tapestry of Louis XIV’s youth true to her name: all her life was a garden, and her lovers like flowers prettily tended.
Hortense, for reasons so illogical as that she was the prettiest bird in the avuncular aviary, was made heir to the bulk of Cardinal Mazarin’s considerable riches and, most important of all, of his name.
Mazarin, admittedly, had offered the Marquis his niece Olympe (she who became Comtesse de Soissons and mother [by Louis XIV?] of Prince Eugène of Savoy)—plain, somewhat harsh in manner, madly devoted to astrology, but intelligent and closer to the young man’s age.
