Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling response to a defence written by Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister of France from 1624 to 1642, during the reign of Louis XIII. The author launches a vitriolic attack on the cardinal's arrogance, his hypocrisy, and his many crimes, both great and small. The author, likely a French aristocrat associated with the court, argues that Richelieu, a mere cardinal of the Church, was not fit to hold such a powerful political position and that he abused his power to enrich himself and to suppress his political opponents. The author provides specific examples of Richelieu's cruelty and tyranny, including his role in the execution of the Duc de Montmorency and the imprisonment of the Duc d'Orlà ans. The author does not shy away from theological and philosophical concepts, including the nature of sin, grace, and salvation, to build a moral and ethical argument for his case. The author contends that despite Richelieu's outward piety, he was a wicked man whose actions were motivated by greed, ambition, and a desire for revenge. The author's powerful insights into the character and actions of Richelieu provide a compelling historical account of the dangers of unchecked political power.
