Um die Königsautorität in seinen eigenen Reichen zu sichern, hielt Richelieu es für notwendig, die politische Macht der Hugenotschefs zu brechen, die, Protestanten zuerst und Franzosen danach, die königliche Autorschaft ständig herausfordern und die Zerstückelung Frankreichs bedrohen. Dementsprechend führte er persönlich eine Armee zur Belagerung von La Rochelle, die die Hugenotten planten, die Hauptstadt eines unabhängigen protestantischen Bürgertums zu machen.

. Mediæval and modern history . olitical Powerof the Huguenots broken. In orderto make supreme and secure the kingsauthority in his own realms, Richelieuconceived it to be necessary, as onestep towards the goal, to break downthe political power of the Huguenotchiefs, who, Protestants first andFrenchmen afterwards, were con-stantly challenging the royal author-ity and threatening the dismemberment of France. Accordingly, he led in person an army to the siege of La Rochelle, which theHuguenots were planning to make the capital of an independentProtestant commonwealth. After a gallant resistance of more thana year the city was compelled to open its gates. The Huguenots maintained the struggle a few months longerin the south of France, but were finally everywhere reduced tosubmission.
