- Summary:
- 'A devil and a popish one at that': until the mid-twentieth century this was the familiar Anglo-Saxon view of the latest subject in Profiles in Power, Armand Jean Duplessis, Cardinal and Duc de Richelieu. Cold, clever and ruthless, Richelieu governed the destinies of France for eighteen years until hid death, in spite of his uncertain hold on the loyalties of Louis XIII and of many attempts by his aristocratic enemies to unseat him.
