Chief minister of France
Medieval position akin to a head of government / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Prime Minister of France.
The chief minister of France or, closer to the French term, chief minister of state (French: principal ministre d'État), or prime minister of France[1] were and are informal titles given to various personages who received various degrees of power to rule the Kingdom of France on behalf of the monarch during the Ancien Régime ('Old Regime').[2] The titles were however informal and used more as job descriptions.
