Jean Armand Duplessis de Richelieu was Louis XIII’s mother’s “most trusted advisor”, and it was possibly at her urgings that Louis XIII successfully obtained the cardinalship for him from Rome. Within months of his appointment to the royal council, “he rose to first place in Louis’s council and dominated policy decisions.” - Cardinal Richelieu
