Louis XIII, taciturn and suspicious, relied heavily on his chief minister UsefulNotes/CardinalRichelieu to govern the kingdom of France. King and cardinal are remembered for the establishment of the Académie Française and for putting an end to the revolt of the French nobility. The reign of Louis "The Just" was also marked by the struggles against Huguenots and [[UsefulNotes/TheSoundOfMartialMusic Habsburg Empire]], especially its branch in the neighboring UsefulNotes/{{Spain}}, led by UsefulNotes/PhilipIV and his own minister the Count-Duke of Olivares. Louis and Philip were ironically brothers-in-law, as Louis was married to Philip's sister Anne of Austria, who was ''also'' Louis' [[KissingCousins cousin]].

France's greatest victory in the conflicts against the [[UsefulNotes/TheSoundOfMartialMusic Habsburg Empire]] during the period 1635-59 came at the Battle of Rocroi (1643), five days after Louis's death from apparent complications of intestinal tuberculosis. This battle marked the beginning of the end of Spain's military dominance in Europe[[note]]Long-term. Rocroi tends to be thrown in textbooks as a GameOver for Spain, but in reality it was followed by a comparable Spanish victory in Tuttlingen and fifteen more years of threat to France. The battle's true value for the French was spiritual, as it was their first big, clear cut win over the ''tercios'' in a century and reminded them that Spain could be defeated.[[/note]] and foreshadowed French ascendancy in Europe under UsefulNotes/LouisXIV, his son and successor, who fully assumed power in 1661 following the regency during which his mother Anne of Austria and UsefulNotes/CardinalMazarin governed.

** He is both a RoyalBrat and a {{Manchild}} in the animated series ''WesternAnimation/AlbertTheFifthMusketeer'', which is loosely based on ''The Three Musketeers'' and moreso depicts him with clothes, a lifestyle and a court that have more to do with the time of his son Louis XIV than his own.

** Creator/JeanPierreCassel played him in the first two films of Richard Lester's [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1973 version]] as a bit eccentric, as for instance he plays chess games with costumed little people as the pieces.

** Contrasting greatly is his depiction in ''[[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1993 The Three Musketeers]]'' (1993) where he's essentially a nice guy who loves his Queen but is manipulated by Richelieu, and he essentially becomes a DistressedDude at the end along with the Queen.
