“…Ennek történeti háttéroka az az ellenzéki mozgalom volt, amely 1642-ben szerveződött Franciaországban a Mazarin által vezetett kormány ellen, és amely 1648 és 1653 között La Fronde néven nem csupán szellemi csatákat, hanem valóságos polgárháborút is vívott az ország vezetői ellen, Condé herceg vezetésével. A La Fronde-nak elsősorban nemesi és főpapi méltóságot viselő tagjai voltak, köztük nem kevés előkelő hölgy is (Bonney, 1988;Pernot, 1994).
