CONCINI, CONCINO (d. 1617), COUNT DELLA PENNA, MARSHAL D'ANCRE, Italian adventurer, minister of Louis XIII. of France, was a native of Florence. He came to France in the train of Marie de' Medici, and married the queen's lady-in-waiting, Leonora Dori, known as Galigai. In 1610 he had purchased the marquisate of Ancre and the position of first gentleman-in waiting. Then he obtained successively the governments of Ami ens and of Normandy, and in 1614 the baton of marshal. As first minister of the crown from that date, he abandoned the policy of Henry IV., allowed the treasury to be pillaged, and drew upon himself the hatred of all classes. The nobles were bitterly hostile to him, particularly Conde, with whom he negotiated the treaty of Loudun in 1616, and whom he had arrested, on the advice of Richelieu, in September, 1616. But Louis XIII. was tired of Concini's tutelage. Concini was killed by the guards on April 24, 1617. Leonora was accused of sorcery and sent to the stake in the same year.
