Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
The "Fronde of the Parliament" was in 1648. The name was derived from the slings used to break Mazarin's windows, as the cardinal was forced to back down. The "Fronde of the Nobles" ended in 1653. It was more complex and violent, and it was Louis XIV's horror of this anarchy that stiffened his resolve as absolutist king. [1001 Days]
