- Louis-Jules Mancini-Mazarini, Duc de Nivernais
Louis-Jules Mancini-Mazarini, duc de Nivernais (December 16, 1716 – February 25, 1798), French diplomat and writer, was born in Paris, son of Philippe-Jules-François (1676-1768), duc de Nevers from 1707 to his death, and Maria Anne Spinola, who had married in 1709. This made Louis-Jules a great-nephew of Cardinal Mazarin.
He was educated at the Collège Louis le Grand, and married at the age of fourteen. He served in the campaigns in Italy (1733) and Bohemia (1740), but had to give up soldiering on account of his weak health. He was subsequently ambassador at Rome (1748-1752), Berlin (1755-1756) and London, where he negotiated the treaty of Paris (February 10, 1763). From 1787 to 1789 he was a member of the Council of State. He did not emigrate during the Revolution, but lost all his money and was imprisoned in 1793. He recovered his liberty after the fall of Robespierre, and died in Paris on the 25th of February 1798.
In 1743 he was elected to the Academy for a poem entitled "Délie", and from 1763 he devoted the greater part of his time to the administration of the duchy of Nevers and to "belles-lettres". He wrote much and with great facility; but his writings are of little value, his "Fables" being his best productions. His "Œuvres complètes" were published in Paris in 1796; an edition of his "Œuvres posthumes" was brought out in Paris by François de Neufchâteau in 1807, and his " _fr. Correspondance secrète" was published in Paris by de Lescure in 1866.
