Wild tales of the supposed massacre had left them the objects of a vengeful hate unknown before in England, but with the king they were simply counters in his game of kingcraft.

The most remarkable furniture artist of this time, for surely he merits such title, was André Charles Boule, of whom but little is known.

The King survived his minister only a few months; Richelieu died on December 4th, 1642, and Louis XIII in the following May.
It is said that Richelieu was fascinated by the beauty and grace of Anne of Austria, and that she made a bitter enemy of the minister by repelling his courtesies.
