French revolts 1648-53 against the
administration of the chief minister Mazarin
during Louis XIV's minority. In 1648-49 the
Paris parlement attempted to limit the royal
power, its leaders were arrested, Paris
revolted, and the rising was suppressed by
the royal army under Louis II Conde. In 1650
Conde led a new revolt of the nobility, but
this was suppressed by 1653.
