Людовик XIII: как тихий король уничтожил старую Францию

Before Louis XIV, France was a land of conspiracies, rebellions, and near-anarchy. While aristocrats raised armies and Huguenots transformed cities into independent fortresses, young Louis XIII grew up a humiliated teenager under the control of his own mother and her favorites. But it was this forgotten king, together with Cardinal Richelieu, who created a machine of absolute power that destroyed old feudal France and paved the way for the era of the Sun King. Executions, sieges, intrigues, La Rachelle, Richelieu, Marie de Medici, and the birth of true absolutism—the history of France, usually obscured by the splendor of Versailles. #LouisXIII #Richelieu #France #History #Louis14 #Versailles #SunKing #HistoryOfFrance #Absolutism #LouisXIII #Richelieu #Versailles #FrenchHistory
