Czasem mam wrażenie, że widzę podobieństwa między kardynałem Richelieu a sułtanką Hürrem... Jak widać, nie jestem jedyna.
Sometimes i think that i see some similarities between cardinal Richelieu and sultan Hürrem... As it's seen, i'm not the only one.
‘ Ibrahim. Ibrahim of Parga. Ibrahim, my sword enemy. You departed from this life; you went to the other side. I hope you somehow hear me. I’d like to tell you these when you were alive while looking into your eyes. It wasn’t meant to be. I owe my thanks to you, Ibrahim. I lived a life that nobody can live. Your share is big, I won’t deny it. You chose me. You offered me to His Majesty. Even if you regretted it a thousand times, it is the truth. In fact, you and I were two fans around the fire. The fire is Sultan Suleyman himself. I stopped. I knew my place. But you didn’t, Ibrahim. You got closer and closer. You circled and burnt as you circled. You burnt to ashes. Souls are immortal, I know. I will have to face unsettled accounts sooner or later. Then we’ll meet again, Ibrahim. ’

Richelieu seemed to have experienced some emotion. He wrote to Chavigny: ‘ I beg God with all my heart that he has given eternal rest to the Queen’s soul. I am happy to have seen by letters that she has a great repentance for her faults and that she has forgiven with a great heart those whom she held as her enemies. ’ The tragedy which had been played out between these two people had a disconcerting epilogue. Another letter from Richelieu to Chavigny reveals: ‘ Sieur Riolan (Marie de Medici’s doctor) writes to me that he is keeping the Queen’s parrot for me, which I once had the honour of giving her. I beg the King to see fit to make me the heir to this animal. ’

‘ Thus, even the power of a queen crowned at Saint-Denis remained at the mercy of the King’s pleasure. Richelieu was haunted by this idea of “disgrace” which was to remain his obsession. He thought of the incredible fortune of the Concinis and of their sudden collapse, and looked for the faults and the errors that would lose triumphant favourites. There was no trace of discouragement in his morose reflections, no desire to give up the conquest of power. On the contrary. The ambitious man was thinking only of learning from this first defeat the salutary lessons that would one day lead him to victory. ’
