A comparative analysis of two key figures of 17th-century Europe: Cardinal Richelieu, chief minister of Louis XIII of France, and the Count-Duke of Olivares, chief minister of Philip IV of Spain. Elliott examines their parallel careers, their reform projects and their rivalry, and shows how they contributed to absolutism and the birth of the modern state.
