In France, the States-General are dismissed with vague promises of reforms. The two individuals who effectively rule the country for the thirteen-year-old Louis XIII, namely the Queen Mother and her advisor Concino Concini, seem to have little faith in the institution, provoking the Prince of Condé to rise a second time, in August. However, in one respect his rebellion is in vain, since the States-General do not meet again until 1789.
