Jean Francois Paul de Gondi, Cardinal de Retz, 17th century French churchman and agitator. The Cardinal de Retz (1614-1679) plotted against Cardinal Mazarin, Chief Minister of France. He was deeply involved in the instigation of the uprising known as the Fronde which broke out in 1648. He was arrested and imprisoned in 1652 but restored to favour by Louis XIV in 1662, spending much or the remainder of his life engaged in diplomatic duties.
