1695 King Louis XIII of France 1^ed Cardinal Richelieu Thirty Years War Riencourt

Louis XIII, also known as Louis the Just, was a 17^th-century King of France. While not considered as prolific as his son Louis XIV, Louis XIII, alongside his advisor Cardinal Richelieu, was best-known for his disbanding of private duels as well as the razing of numerous Huguenot strongholds.

Author Simon de Riencourt published an authoritative account of the life of Louis XIII – an account written in the 17^th-century! Other accounts of Louis XIII’s life are more easily available, in fact, most of them are 18^th-century printings. Riencourt’s “History of Louis XIII” is a rare work of the history of 17^th-century French royalty written during the same time period!
