Biographical
He went to France in 1653 with his sisters Hortense and Marie. He was
made duke of Nevers after the duke of Mantua sold it to Cardinal Mazarin
in 1659, who then bestowed it on his nephew. He was accused of taking
part in an event of debauchery during Holy Week in 1659, which angered
his uncle and he had him confined in his fortress at Brisach. He accompanied
his sister Hortense to Paris after she had fled her husband in 1668, and
again in 1670 when she tried to obtain a legal separation.[3]
He assumed the additional surname of Mazarini at his uncle's request and
was named one of his heirs.[4]
