Explanation:

Cardinal Richelieu was the chief minister of king Louis XIII. He was a Church top official, a noble and a statesman. As the main king´s minister, he always sought to enlarge the power and strengthened the position of France. His main challenge was to check the power of the Austro-Spanish House of Habsburg in Europe. Although a Catholic cardinal, he did not hesitate to ally with Protestant princes to fight against Catholic Habsburg power whenever it suited the interests of France. He´s a major figure of the Thirty Years War.

According to international relations scholars, Richelieu is the father of the idea of  the "raison d´état" or in the interest of the state.
