Mazarin governs alongside Anne of Austria, continuing the authoritarian policies inherited from Richelieu. The great nobles, frustrated at being pushed aside, gather in secret and fuel popular discontent. The Parlement, already hostile, joins the critics and strengthens the opposition. Aristocratic salons become centers of intrigue against the cardinal. This part establishes a climate of political suffocation in which the “princes in a cage” search for a way out.

Episode 4
Mazarin, now the main target of the Fronde, watches the political situation turn sharply against him. The princes, the Parlement and several great nobles fuel public hatred, making his presence in Paris impossible. Threatened with arrest and abandoned by part of the court, he realizes that staying would spark civil war. Anne of Austria tries to support him, but her authority is weakening. Forced to act, Mazarin arranges a secret nighttime escape with a handful of loyal followers. His departure throws the regency into uncertainty: the Frondeurs celebrate, the capital grows restless, and the queen finds herself increasingly isolated.
