Direct answer

Cardinal Mazarin was the chief minister and played a crucial role in governing France during the minority of Louis XIV.

Key terms

  • Parlement of Paris: The highest court in France, which played a significant role in opposing royal edicts and asserting judicial power during the Regency.

Common trap

Confusing the Fronde with the Frondeurs: Remember that 'Fronde' refers to the civil wars, while 'Frondeurs' are the nobles and others who opposed the monarchy during these conflicts.
