Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu (jan 1, 1585 – jan 1, 1643)

Description:

Louis XIII (1601 – 1643)
Cardinal Richelieu (1585-1642)
Louis XIII was a weak king until Cardinal Richelieu stepped in and took up a lot of his power. With Louis XIII wrapped under Cardinal Richelieu's finger, he was able to make France a powerful European power. The mainly Protestant leaders, however, caused much tension between France and the Habsburg rulers.
