Renowned English historian S.W. Wedgwood presents a study of a seminal figure in French history, the celebrated Cardinal Richelieu. He was a skilled diplomat, a shrewd politician, and a talented statesman. During the eighteen years that Cardinal Richelieu served as King Louis XIII's first minister, the monarchy's power in France was so consolidated that it remained unshaken even during the prolonged minority of Louis XIV. During the cardinal's reign, France became a leading power in Europe and a source of European art. Relying solely on facts and primary sources, Wedgwood examines Richelieu's life, his activities, character, and motives, and notes that the cardinal was such a powerful and vibrant personality, making such a lasting impression, that almost every event in Europe was attributed to his secret or overt intervention.

S.W. Wedgwood's historical essays immerse readers in the most significant events of the Middle Ages.
