The Three Musketeers - 1973
So, I decided to put my faith in Alexandre Dumas Père's The Three Musketeers for some historical insight into one of the lesser-famed eras of the Bourbon Dynasty. As you may be aware of, the reign of the petulant Louis XIII was rendered significant by the ever-present Cardinal Richelieu. In fact, the latter was one of the main reasons why I went for the movie. As an International Studies and Diplomacy Student, I have "grown tired" of the burdening literature, as well as the praise attached to this powerful statesman of the clergy. In short, the Cardinal benefited from the young age of Henry IV's issue, who inherited a powerful state at the tender age of 8. Richelieu was appointed his Chief Minister to help him pave his way into king-hood - a position he kept until his death. Pulling the strings at all times, he is accredited with blueprinting the current diplomatic system of nation-states that succeeded in creating a balance on the continent. Years before the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, he based the system on négociation continuelle by establishing the first foreign ministry, and dispatching emissaries or ambassadors throughout Europe.
