Commentary
Ce jeton commémore le mariage récent d'Henriette-Marie de Bourbon (1609-1669) avec Charles Ier d'Angleterre (1600-1649) en 1625, l'année où il succède à Jacques Ier. Ce jeton rappelle aussi qu'Élisabeth (1602-1644) a épousé Philippe IV d'Espagne (1605-1665) en 1621, l'année où il succède à Philippe III. Enfin la troisième couronne est celle de son fils Louis XIII (1601-1643) qui est roi depuis 1610. Rappelons pour mémoire que Christine (1606-1663), autre fille de Marie a épousé Victor-Amédée de Savoie (1587-1637) qui devient duc de Savoie à la mort de son père Charles-Emmanuel Ier en 1630.
Historical background
MARIE DE' MEDICI
(1573-1642)
Marie de Médicis (1573-1642), daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, François, married Henri IV on December 17, 1600 in Lyon. Marie was not crowned until May 13, 1610, the day before Henry IV died. Louis XIII, born on September 27, 1601, was then a minor. Marie was declared regent and Louis was crowned on October 17, 1610. On November 20, 1614, he was declared of age, but left the government to his mother, who called together the States General on October 27, 1614. When Concini, the Marshal of Ancre, was assassinated on April 24, 1617, the queen lost the regency and was exiled to Blois. She returned to grace through Richelieu in 1619. Marie de Medici rose again against her son in 1620 and took part in the day of the Dupes in November 1630 to force the king to separate from Richelieu. The king chooses the minister against his mother. She left France in 1631 never to return, took refuge in Holland and died in exile in Cologne on July 3, 1642..
