 This collection was called the Marie de' Medici Cycle.After the death of his favourite, the duke of Luynes, Louis turned increasingly for guidance to Richelieu.Marie de' Medici's attempts to displace Richelieu ultimately led to her attempted coup; for a single day, the "Day of the Dupes", in November 1630, she seemed to have succeeded; but the triumph of Richelieu was followed by her self-exile to Compiègne in 1630, from where she escaped to Brussels in 1631 and Amsterdam in 1638.
