Take the following as truth: Directing national policy until his death in 1642, Richelieu reasserted the authority of his king against both the conservative Catholics who surrounded the queen mother and the Protestant forces that were fiercely defending the privileges granted them by the Edict of Nantes.
Then the following statement: "Richelieu was able to both support the king and control the running of the country." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
