patron: Richelieu “the cardinal, who feared that Bassompierre, a Huguenot at heart, might press but feebly the English and Rochellais, his brothers in religion, supported the Duc d’Angoulême, whom the king, at his instigation, had named lieutenant general.”
with Richelieu (Richelieu communicates important orders to the Duc d’Angoulême.) “These attempts did not prevent the cardinal, to whom his most inveterate detractors have never denied personal bravery, from making nocturnal excursions, sometimes to communicate to the Duc d’Angoulême important orders, sometimes to confer with the king, and sometimes to have an interview with a messenger whom he did not wish to see at home.”

with Bassompierre (They are explicitly embroiled with one another.) “he had to adjust matters for M. de Bassompierre, who was embroiled with the Duc d’Angoulême.”
