Who was the principal minister and advisor to Louis in his youth?

Cardinal Mazarin, Louis's godfather, served as Lois XIV's chief minister in his youth. Cardinal Mazarin was unpopular in France, and his policies led to several years of civil disturbances called the Fronde. Twice Mazarin had to flee from Paris, but finally in 1653 he put down the Fronde. Its failure strengthened the king's authority over the nobles. When Mazarin died in 1661, Louis declared that he would be his own chief minister. He had received a thorough education for kingship. Mazarin had taught him to choose wise counselors. The greatest of Louis's ministers was Jean Baptiste Colbert. Colbert reorganized French finance and promoted economy and industry. Hope I helped :)
