Here are my broad opinions of the three _big_ Cardinals in France: Richelieu looked like a cat and took advantage of the King Mazarin was the regent's sidekick and took advantage of the King De Fleury looked like a nice smiley man who tried to keep France in peace and didn't take advantage of the King but tends to be forgotten about by the wider public because he was nice.
Superb series on the 3 cardinals. Thank you Nieke, he never took advantage of his position, in my opinion the best of the 3 lived to quite an age to. 👍😊
Such an education! I had not heard of Cardinal De Fleury before, but he sounds like a very competent (and long-lived!) statesman. Maybe not the most imaginative, but also you can't undersell quiet competence either, I think.
I must say, I like Cardinal De Fleury. He was so different from his predecessors. He was very influential but at the same time maintained the nature of a priest. P. S. The name Fleury reminds me of ice-cream (McFlurry).
Treating the King's cardinals as a series was a good idea. They were all political geniuses and did a lot for the monarchy. They often get underestimated, particularly Fleury, although he achieved a lot and lead a rather frugal life. That reminds me to read a particular biography again. The "s" in Fréjus ain't silent either ;-) Damn french spelling!!! *lol* Will you put a playlist together that features the cardinals, famous ministers and regents? That would be helpful.
@@TheKingsofFrance My voice sounds condescending, otherwise I'd be pleased to host a video. I would scare everyone away, so that's a pass, sorry. But I was lucky regarding royalty-free music from Lully.
I've always liked him ever so much, a deft diplomat, who at the same time remained worthy of his Cardinal's red, I mean I LOVE Mazarin but Fleury remained a priest as well.... it would cool to see you do a video on Pere Joseph Richelieu's eminence gris...
I agree. The period of the Bourbon monarchy witnessed the lives of many extraordinary members of the French church. I'm thinking of preachers such as Bossuet and Massillon (who preached the sermon at Louis XIV's funeral and began with the words "Dieu seul est grand"). Missionaries such as Isaac Jogues and other martyrs and explorers of North America. And saints such Vincent de Paul, Louis de Montfort, or Jean-Baptiste de La Salle. And these are just a sampling of the names that could be named.
Personally I'd really love to, but I do see that in general, the views on videos like these are much lower than on more 'popular' videos. I'll see what I can do though.
@@TheKingsofFrance I decided to look and see which of your videos was the most popular and, to my surprise, it is the video on Françoise Marie De Bourbon, captioned "'Madame Lucifer: A Lazy Royal," with 74k views. I couldn't imagine why this one would be so popular. But then again, what should one expect from "cette génération mauvaise et adultère"?
@A W I think it could work with the appropriate title. Perhaps "Dubois QUADRUPLE slams Spain: Slaps the "le m**de" out of Alberoni"; or "Dubois: 'the odour of falsehood escapes through every pore of his body' - Duc de Saint-Simon"; or "The 8,000,000 Fr Red Hat BREAKS the Church!"

Glad you enjoyed it !
Cardinal Fluery did a good job for France !

Glad I was able to provide you with some information on an individual you didn't know yet !
This was a great idea and series to put together on the cardinals...I really learned a lot!
Really glad you liked it Soren!
What an extraordinary life he had! Thanks for highlighting lesser known historical figures 👍👍
Thank you so much for watching again !

Can I hire you as my narrator ? haha. Playlist will be made tomorrow!

He had a kind face 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for watching Amy !
He has a kind face. He seems like a humble, Christian man who truly served his country and king without thought of any earthly reward.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Amazing video on The Forgotten Cardinal! 👑♥️
Thank you very much !
Sad that he's not as well remembered as Richelieu or even Mazarin.
I've always liked him ever so much, a deft diplomat, who at the same time remained worthy of his Cardinal's red, I mean I LOVE Mazarin but Fleury remained a priest as well....
it would cool to see you do a video on Pere Joseph Richelieu's eminence gris...
Great been looking forward to this video
Thanks Toni !
Please consider a segment on Cardinal Fesch.
Thank you Paul, I'll see what I can do
Very interesting video. He seemed like a good, holy man.
Thank you for watching Jane !
Another great video! Thank you! I'm glad that he didn't take advantage of his position. That is really great of him.
Thank you for being here again.
Very different from the first two Cardinals for sure.
Amazing as always what's next
Elisabeth of France, wife of Philippe IV Of Spain.

Do more videos on the French clergy!

Great history video I enjoyed it 👍😀
Thanks Michelle !
An amazing video!Another great idea would be to make a few videos about the doges of Venice.(they weren't really monarchs but still)
I agree. Neither were the Medicis, but I'm planning on making videos on them as well. Thank you for watching !
Keep up the great videos
Thank you very much hun !
Your videos are so awesome! Have you thought about doing videos about the lesser known Cardinals such as the Cardinal de Noailles?
I have not but I might at a later stage, for now my calendar is filled up until the end of the year.
top! thanx!
Thank so much for watching again !!!
He really lived a long life considering the life expectancy during that time, and considering the medical treatment back in the day.
Thanks for watching !
Great statesman 👍
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
Definitely not quite as conniving as the first two bigtime cardinals. Seemed like a generally pleasant man.
Thanks Winnie !!
If the church where the cardinal was buried was destroyed by napoleon then what happened to his body?
That I do not know. I assume it was lost.
@@TheKingsofFrance Thank you for the reply!
De fleury is best french catholic
Thank you Rosalie !
