Richelieu: behind the purple, lies secrecy and strategy.
In a France fractured by court rivalries and personal ambitions, Richelieu moves without ornament. No flourish, no glory — only the cold machinery of power. Caught between a hesitant king, a nobility dreaming of defiance, and enemies multiplying on every front, the cardinal enforces his line: centralize, control, crush resistance. The series follows a strategist who doesn’t hide behind morality. He acts to keep the State standing, even if it means breaking those who stand in his way. Espionage, secret negotiations, decisive strikes… Richelieu plays a game where mistakes are fatal, and the survival of the kingdom rests on one man willing to go further than all the others

The series follows Richelieu’s rise in a kingdom still shaken by the Wars of Religion. The nobility challenges royal authority, the Protestants hold their fortified strongholds, Spain maneuvers at the borders, and Louis XIII struggles to assert himself. Richelieu returns to the Council in this unstable climate. Initially reserved, he earns the king’s trust by outwitting intrigues and conspiracies, then asserts himself as crises unfold: the Protestant revolt, pressure from the queen mother, the ambitions of the great lords, and growing tensions with the Habsburgs. As obstacles multiply, he imposes a policy of centralization that gradually reshapes the kingdom. The final episode shows a France regaining its authority, carried by the vision of a man determined to rebuild the State.
