The Devils
English audio, versión original (VOSE) · Current release
In 1634 France, following the aftermath of the Huguenot rebellions, the French Catholic statesman Cardinal Richelieu influences King Louis XIII in an attempt to gain further power. Richelieu seeks to consolidate his authority by systematically divesting France's feudal lords of their power and centralising the country's government. He convinces Louis that the fortifications of cities throughout France should be demolished to prevent Protestants from rising up.
