Charles de La Vieuville was a French nobleman and politician during the early 17th century. He served as a minister under King Louis XIII and was known for his attempts to reform the French government and military. His tenure was marked by political challenges and conflicts with other powerful figures in the court. La Vieuville's efforts to centralize power and improve the administration of the state were met with mixed results. He faced opposition from the nobility and was eventually dismissed from his position in 1626. His legacy is often overshadowed by the more prominent figures of his time, such as Cardinal Richelieu.
