Histo'rick'al Figures: Cardinal Richelieu

(ed note:  This is post #100 for Rick Show!  In honor of this historic moment, We'll use a post that is historical as we move into the future. Also, I've included some bonus video, so be sure to follow after the jump.)

You may not know much about this guy (I didn't).  Cardinal Richelieu was a famous Frenchman from the 17th century.  He became a bishop in 1608, a Cardinal in 1622 and was the chief minister to King Louis XIII from 1624-1642.  He was also portrayed as one of the bad guys in The Three Musketeers, both in the book and in the movies.  From what I can tell, he was "kind of a big deal."

(He may or may not have looked like this.  I believe there was only one of him in real life, though)

Before you go and "read" all about him, though, why not follow along after the jump and get 
educated via video?


Little did I know that our friend the Cardinal is popular in the high school presentation circuit.  I could hardly have asked for more.


Hannah Scelfo and Grace Goldstein did us the favor of bringing his life into the 21st century with this AP Euro project:

and Shannon Lynch of Mr Bertholf's World History class gives us this

And Dominique Alessi and Caroline Currin from AP Euro, Period 3 provide us with this gem:

Sorry, I know that's a lot of video.  I got a bit carried away.   But I just kept finding more and more!

    Ummmmm....ok. So these videos were weird. I really enjoyed how the first one was set to a love song to a girl. Awesome. And the last one was done in a cafeteria or something (on the day it was due, I'm sure). I mean, can't you find somewhere a little more quiet to make a video?!?!? C'mon!!! C-

      Agreed, talk about phoning it in. And that first one was my favorite, setting it to some dance song. I mean, both the first and last were from an AP class. I'm pretty sure the first one got a much better grade.

    On a side note, I can't wait for one of these girls to google herself someday and find this post.
