La Reine et le Cardinal is a 2009 French television film directed by Marc Rivière and starring Philippe Torreton, Alessandra Martines, Audrey Fleurot, Franck de la Personne, Rufus, Joséphine de Meaux and Marc Citti. It is based on events in the early years of the reign of Louis XIV of France. The drama of the rumored love affair between the child king's widowed mother, Anne of Austria, and her prime minister, Cardinal Mazarin, unfolds as intrigue and political discord ignite the Fronde. The second part of the film also covers the romance between Louis XIV and Mazarin's niece, Marie Mancini.

Synopsis

À la mort de Richelieu, le cardinal Mazarin lui succède comme Principal Ministre à la demande du roi Louis XIII, qui lui demande également d’être le parrain du Dauphin. La reine, voyant en Mazarin le continuateur de la politique de Richelieu à laquelle elle s’opposait, finit par se laisser amadouer par sa diplomatie et ses bonnes manières. Lorsqu’elle devient régente après la mort du roi, elle le nomme Premier Ministre et le choisit comme principal conseiller au conseil de régence. Leur complicité grandit au-delà de la sphère politique et ils s’aiment clandestinement.

Rodolphe Rassendyll, un touriste anglais, arrive à Strelsau, capitale d'un pays imaginaire d'Europe Centrale, la Ruritanie. Il y rencontre un lointain cousin dont il est le parfait sosie, le prince héritier Rodolphe V. Celui-ci doit être couronné Roi le lendemain, mais à l'issue de la soirée que les deux parents éloignés passent ensemble, le futur souverain ne peut être ranimé : il a bu un vin drogué par une complice de son demi-frère, Michael de Strelsau, lequel escompte se proclamer Régent du Royaume, en l'absence à la Cérémonie du Couronnement de Rodolphe V, puis faire assassiner ce dernier pour accéder ainsi au Trône. Mais deux fidèles du prince légitime, le Colonel Zapt et Fritz von Tarlenheim, font accepter par Rassendyll qu'il joue le rôle de souverain au couronnement, grâce à cette providentielle ressemblance. Les choses se compliquent lorsque Rodolphe V, toujours endormi, est enlevé le même jour par le mercenaire Rupert de Hentzau ; en outre, Rassendyll tombe amoureux de la Princesse Flavia, promise en mariage au prince héritier.
