Summary "Richelieu: A Tale of France, v. 3/3" by G. P. R. James is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the intricate political machinations of Cardinal Richelieu, a powerful figure in French history, as well as the lives and fortunes of those entangled in his schemes, particularly focusing on Count Claude de Blenau. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complex dynamics of power during a tumultuous period in France. The opening portion of the novel introduces the aftermath of a politically charged incident involving Count de Blenau, who finds himself at a crossroads following an examination before the King and his council. As de Blenau grapples with his uncertain fate, we see the tense atmosphere in the Bastille spiral around him. The arrival of Richelieu adds an element of dread, as both the Count and the Governor of the Bastille are acutely aware of the Cardinal's formidable reputation. The dialogue reveals de Blenau's steadfastness in the face of interrogation regarding the Queen's letters, setting the stage for the unfolding drama as he navigates the dangers posed by the cardinal's power while simultaneously revealing the shifting loyalties at court.
