Kings and Clutchey's

|
This is King Louis XIII (September 27, 1601 - May 14, 1643). He was King of France and Navarre from 1610 to 1643. His First Minister was Cardinal Richelieu. Acadia was developed under Louis XIII because his rivals the English and Spanish were establishing colonies. (you can read a more complete History here.) Unfortunately, Louis XIII died and his son Louis XIV was too young to be King. Before he died Louis XIII appointed a Regency which was not his wife, Anne. Of course after he died Anne had her husband's will annulled and had herself appointed Regency. Cardinal Richelieu was also replaced by Cardinal Mazarin. Louis XIV (the son) continued his colonization efforts through Cardinal Mazarin. Read the complete history from 1500 AD to Zachary Cloutier's entrance to Canada here. |
