Louis XIV did not hold power directly during the first two years of his reign because he was only a child, ascending to the throne at the age of four after the death of his father, Louis XIII, in 1643. During this period, the real power was held by his mother, Anne of Austria, and the chief minister, Cardinal Mazarin, who governed on his behalf while he was too young to rule independently. This regency lasted until Louis XIV came of age and began to assert his authority, famously declaring, "L'état, c'est moi" (I am the state).
