Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contends that Louis XIII's reputation as a jealous, weak, and unenthusiastic ruler is unfair, based more on popular and biased memoirs than on hard evidence. By presenting a trove of previously unpublished letters from Louis to Cardinal Richelieu, the author argues instead that Louis was an intelligent and self-aware ruler who understood the cardinal's political genius and willingly supported his policies.
