Armand Jean du Plesis de Richelieu
The Cardinal Duke of Richelieu

As the First Minister of king Louis XIII he reformed France, making it a world power with highly centralised authority, thwarting any opposition on the way.

His mercantile economic policies laid a foundation for France's future imperial potential. However, high taxes and a strict law were met with resentment of the society.
