As for why the king thought so, it was because from the lips of Mr. René Descartes he was able to completely restore the whole face of this terrible event, probably more than Father Lebert, who waited to hear the traitor's dying prayers.

Monsieur René Descartes's account was written down by a keenly hearing attendant who waited outside the door, and after he had ceased to hold this prestigious position and returned to his hometown of Lille, he mentioned it in his memoirs, because of the extraordinary detail of the description, which was at once thought to be deliberately apocryphal, until the confessions of Madame Cristina Alexandra were reproduced and people compared them to each other, and it must be said that there was any difference, probably that of Monsieur Descartes, for he did pity this illustrious and sad student, and was biased in some of the wording.

The Marquis of Gian Rinaldo Monaldesi, needless to say, was naturally an unquestionably beautiful man, and he was of a kind temperament, good at poetry and duels, admired by many noble ladies, and some said that his only defect was that he was Madame Christina's lover, which was really bad, because the former queen was burdened with many charges, such as greed, vanity, and profligacy—this is true, the former Queen of Sweden had canonized seventeen counts in the ten years since her accession to the throne, Forty-six barons and more than four hundred low-ranking nobles, who had sold or pledged property worth one million Swedish silver coins to pay their money, and after her abdication, she continued to indulge in pleasures, and spent almost all her income on music and art, and came to Paris, nominally asking the King of France to act as an intermediary to recover her landstakes from the King of Sweden, not all in disguise.

Of course, there are many more charges that have been placed on this woman, she likes to wear men's clothes and does not like to dress as women, and there is a female close friend, some say that she is a deformed person with both male and female characteristics, but it is very ironic that some people say that she has an ambiguous relationship with a musician, a cardinal, maybe true, because Louis has also heard the name of the papal prince, and in the minds of the people, she is not only not worthy of respect, nor is it worth trusting.

This recognition undoubtedly directly affects the former queen and the people around her, Louis empathizes, because when he is in exile, he also does not dare to give full trust to the people around him, because he can't give them what they want at all, and they may throw themselves at anyone who can give them benefits and honors at any time, so the king has set his sights on those little people who are not favored by the bishops or dukes from the beginning, just like he still trusts Colbert more than Fouquet.

The Marquis de Monaldesi was naturally the latter, and he may have really loved this Queen Majesty, but since she lost her throne, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and she even has to ask the King and the Privy Council for her daily expenses, not to mention the people around her, who can hardly see the future, and since that is the case, it is no wonder that they would want to choose another shortcut- Louis guessed how the King of Sweden, Lady Christina's cousin, had persuaded the ruler that Sweden would receive a million livres a year from France, because France was to use it to counterbalance the Holy Roman Empire, and that Lady Christina might well be used as a weight in state-to-state transactions, and that if the young knight returned to Sweden, he could join the king's army and win merit, which would be more glorious than being a noblewoman's courtier？

Louis felt that the Swedish king was afraid that he did not care too much about the marquis, otherwise he should at least be pretentious, and not so anxious, and try to find another reason, instead of sending a group of courtiers to Paris in a grand manner to strangle the bishop's plot in the cradle.

Christine Alexandra had already guessed that there was a traitor on her side, and that not many people knew about it, and she went to Avignon first because she was planning a deception—she had deliberately written a letter to Bishop Mazaran that was said to be very important, in which she mentioned a reliable person, a Swedish official, who had some evidence that would make the ministers of the Privy Council revert to the former queen rather than the current one— She wrote six copies of the letter, each with a different name, and then gave it to the person she suspected, and a few days later she heard that the official had indeed been arrested, and she knew that her lover had betrayed her, but at this time she did not act rashly, and with the help of the priest, she left Avignon in the open, but soon returned to the city, and under her command some of the people who had been in contact with Monaldesi, all of which had evidence and testimony.

Then she returns to Fontainebleau, where she would like to mention two key figures, or a pair of key figures, the brothers Francisco Santiniri, who met in Pesaro when the former queen was visiting the Pope, and who loved Madame Cristina and were willing to follow her and serve her.

Madame Christina summoned the Marquis de Monaldesi at the Palace of Fontainebleau that night, and she questioned her lover about the matter, and the Marquis de Monaldesi, either because she was too confident or naïve, went so far as to argue that he was not the one who had betrayed the former queen, and swore that if he was a traitor, he would die, which undoubtedly made Madame Cristina hate and angry, and she immediately produced all the evidence and sentenced the marquis to death.

The Marquis was panicked, and he knelt down and begged Madame Cristina for forgiveness, but Madame Cristina responded by calling the priest who had listened to her deathbed confession, as well as the two murderers, and the Marquis de Monaldesi was not restrained, even though at first he was wounded because he was unarmed, he ran from room to corridor, hastily put on a piece of armor for decoration, and with this he fled from room to room for several hours, from night to dawn, but was finally stabbed to death by Francisco.

It is said that because he put on the armor, he suffered many injuries but not fatal, and in the end, although it was said that he was stabbed to death rather than tortured to death, even Father Lebel could not bear to watch him go on like this, he even knelt down and begged the Francisco brothers, but we all know that both men and women are always the most cruel when facing rivals in love, Francisco did not show mercy, and Madame Cristina only asked him to bury the marquis in the church, and she took out a sum of money to let the priest hold a mass of atonement for him.

For the French and the Swedes, this is not just a scandal, but a crime, and now Madame Christina is waiting for the final verdict, depending on how Louis decides.

——————

Louis still had to discuss this matter with Bishop Mazarin, because, as mentioned above, Sweden was a country that the French had been constantly supporting in order to restrain the Holy Roman Empire, and Bishop Mazaran had even thought about taking it in his pocket through marriage, but now it seemed impossible, so should he displease the current King of Sweden for the sake of Madame Christina?

"As for yourself," said Mr. Bishop, "which side do you want to take?"

"Lady Christina. The king said.

"Is it the same reason that you are unwilling to accept Cromwell?"

"So to speak. ”

"So be it. Mr. Bishop said.

The matter was settled, and Louis was very interested to know what Mr. Bishop thought, yes, the Swedish king would be dissatisfied if he did not send this lady to the monastery, but if this lady was still there, then she, and her descendants, would still be a threat to this king, after all, Sweden has been since Karl IX, except for the rebellion and the deposed descendants of the king, the Swedish throne held by the Vasa dynasty has always been passed on from father to son.

Needless to say, the subsequent trial, judging from the accounts of Madame Christina and the attendant, the lawyer who defended the former Queen of Sweden said that she had the right to judge her subjects, even if she had abdicated, but as a very responsible queen, although she had abandoned this noble status, she was still a queen in mind and soul, so it was perfectly legal for her to execute the Marquis de Monaldesi, a traitor.

René Descartes' request yielded the best results.
