Gaston, Duke Of Orléans (Gaston Jean Baptiste; 1608 - 1660), Was The Third Son Of King Henry Iv Of France And His Second Wife, Marie De' Medici. As A Son Of The King, He Was Born A Fils De France. He Later Acquired The Title Duke Of Orléans, By Which He Was Generally Known During His Adulthood. As The Eldest Surviving Brother Of King Louis Xiii, He Was Known At Court By The Traditional Honorific Monsieur. He Received In Appanage (With Their Respective Titles) The Duchies Of Orléans And Chartres, And The County Of Blois. He Had Nominal Command Of The Army Which Besieged La Rochelle In 1628, Having Already Entered Upon A Course Of Political Intrigue That Would Occupy The Remainder Of His Life. He Was The Heir Presumptive To The Throne Of France From The Death Of His Brother Monsieur D'orléans In 1611 Until The Birth Of His Elder Brother's First Son In 1638. On Two Occasions, He Had To Leave France For Conspiring Against The Government Of His Brother And His Prime Minister Cardinal Richelieu. After Waging An Unsuccessful War In Languedoc Leading To The Battle Of Castelnaudary In 1632, He Took Refuge In Flanders. Reconciled With His Brother Louis Xiii, He Plotted Against Richelieu In 1635, Fled From The Country Again, And Then Submitted To The King And The Cardinal. Soon Afterwards, The Same Process Repeated Itself. Orléans Conspired With The Marquis De Cinq-Mars To Attempt Richelieu's Assassination, And Then Deserted His Unfortunate Accomplice (1642). In 1643, Upon The Death Of Louis Xiii, Gaston Became Lieutenant-General Of The Kingdom, And Fought Against Spain On The Northern Frontiers Of France. He Was Created Duc D'alençon In 1646. During The Wars Of The Fronde (1648-1653), He Demonstrated No Particular Loyalty To The Crown And Passed With Great Facility From One Side To The Other. After The Death Of Gaston's Brother Louis Xiii In 1643, His Nephew Philippe, Brother Of The New King Louis Xiv, Became The New Monsieur. To Differentiate The Older Monsieur From The Younger, Gaston, The Uncle, Was Called Le Grand Monsieur And Philippe, The Nephew, Was Called Le Petit Monsieur. After The Fronde, Gaston Was Exiled By Cardinal Mazarin To Blois In 1652, And Remained There Until His Death. All Of His Orléans Titles Then Went To His Nephew, Now The Only Monsieur.
