His Grand Eminence
Armand-Jean du Plessis Cardinal de Richelieu
Armand Jean du Plessis, cardinal-duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac (French pronunciation: [ʁiʃəljø]; 9 September 1585 – 4 December 1642) was a French clergyman, noble and statesman.
Consecrated as a bishop in 1608, he later entered politics, becoming a Secretary of State in 1616. Richelieu soon rose in both the Catholic Church and the French government, becoming a Cardinal in 1622, and King Louis XIII's chief minister in 1624. He remained in office until his death in 1642; he was succeeded by Cardinal Mazarin, whose career he had fostered.
The Cardinal de Richelieu was often known by the title of the King's "Chief Minister" or "First Minister". He was the world's first Prime Minister, in the modern sense of the term.[not verified in body] He sought to consolidate royal power and crush domestic factions. By restraining the power of the nobility, he transformed France into a strong, centralized state. His chief foreign policy objective was to check the power of the Austro-Spanish Habsburg dynasty, and to ensure French dominance in the Thirty Years' War that engulfed Europe. Although he was a cardinal, he did not hesitate to make alliances withProtestant rulers in attempting to achieve his goals.
Richelieu was also famous for his patronage of the arts; most notably, he founded the Académie Française, the learned society responsible for matters pertaining to the French language. Richelieu is also known by the sobriquet l'Éminence rouge("the Red Eminence"), from the red shade of a cardinal's clerical dress and the style "eminence" as a cardinal.

Errrr....Dillinger,for god sake,the thread title is 'what does your avatar says rather then best avatar?
Oh,by the way,your dp looks quite harassed!
So,you sound like huge,huge fan of Richelieu.Well keeping everything aside-one fact is clear about our ancestors; they were knowledgeable in diverse fields of life.Nowadays we are attaining heaps of information only rather then knowledge. Maybe that is one reason that we are not as true scientist as they were.That is why they used to make discoveries in everything-from better social and criminal laws to science and biologyHis Grand Eminence
