«Louis XIII» is Jean-Christian Petitfils's biography of King Louis XIII of France, published by Perrin in paperback (970 pages, in French).
Petitfils champions Louis XIII, overshadowed by Henry IV and Louis XIV, and dismantles the image of a king dominated by Richelieu. He analyses his reign: conspiracies, revolts, war against the Habsburgs and the construction of absolute monarchy, and portrays him as an artist, musician and jealous of his authority.
Originally published in 2008 in French, it covers the reign of Louis XIII (1610-1643) and seventeenth-century France.
Aimed at readers interested in French history and biographies of seventeenth-century European royalty.
Jean-Christian Petitfils, born in Paris on December 25, 1944, is a French writer, historian and political scientist, as well as a banker until 2004.
