Margaret Theresa of Spain (Spanish: Margarita Teresa, German: Margarete Theresia; 12 July 1651 - 12 March 1673) was, by marriage to Leopold I, Holy Roman Empress, German Queen, Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Hungary and Bohemia.

The King locked his mother away after she was upset that her son ordered the killing of her foster sister Leonora Dori Galigaï by burning her at the stake, right after Louis had Leonora's husband Conconi Concono executed on the entrance of the Louvre Castle. Concino Concini, 1st Marquis d'Ancre was an Italian politician, best known for being a minister of Louis XIII of France. I assume any mother would be upset and Richelieu was pulling all the strings for his own wealth and advantage, he learnt the power of the press and hired writers to form good public image proganda for himself, and sent the King's mother into exile.
Almost all of history and law are conspiracy theory, not lone-person theory.
