Maximilien de Béthune, first Duke of Sully (1560-1641), soldier, French minister, staunch Huguenot (Protestant) and faithful right - hand man who assisted king Henry IV of France in the rule of France. Historians emphasize Sully´s role in building a strong centralized administrative system in France using coercion and highly effective new administrative techniques. His policies were not original, and most were reversed. Historians have also studied his neo - Stoicism and his ideas about virtue, prudence, and discipline. (Wikipedia).
