Michel Le Tellier (647 words)
Le Tellier was provincial of his order in Paris when Father La Chaise, the confessor of Louis XIV, died, 20 January, 1709.
Le Tellier is accused by Saint-Simon of having in 1713 laboured jointly with Madame de Maintenon and Bissy, Bishop of Meaux, against Cardinal de Noailles, Archbishop of Paris, and used his influence with Clement XI, through the Jesuit Daubenton and Cardinal Fabroni, to obtain the condemnation of Quesnel.
Louis XIV in a codicil to his will had selected Le Tellier as the confessor of the little Louis XV, then seven years of age; but a few days after the king's death the regent, under the influence of Saint-Simon and the Jansenists, informed the provincial of the Jesuits that Le Tellier must leave Paris.

The son of a Parisian magistrate, Le Tellier became a procureur (attorney) for King Louis XIII in 1631 and intendant (royal agent) to the French army in Italy in 1640.
The experience of the Fronde taught Le Tellier and Louis that the army must be removed from the control of the nobles and made totally dependent on the king.
Le Tellier began to reorganize it in the mid-1650s, and, when Louis assumed personal control of the government upon the death of Mazarin in 1661, Le Tellier was admitted to the king's three-member inner council (Conseil d'en Haut).
