In early [[17th century]] [[France]], the church and the state were intertwined to a particularly profound extent, since [[Cardinal]] [[Richelieu]] — as he called himself, "the [[Pope]]'s representative in France" — was also [[King]] [[Louis XIII]]'s [[prime minister]]. When Richelieu's political goals were opposed by the king, he used his role as cardinal to threaten Louis with excommunication from the [[Roman]] [[Catholic]] [[Church]]. Had he been successful, this would have at least theoretically made it impossible for Louis to fulfil his [[coronation]] oath. In the end, however, Louis simply had Richelieu jailed and thus prevented the necessary communication with [[Rome]].
