Editing Louis XIII (section)

==Death==
Louis XIII was unwell during the winter of 1642–1643. He managed a few hunting trips to Versailles, but by the middle of February was mostly bedridden. From contemporary descriptions, modern historians have surmised that he suffered from [[extrapulmonary tuberculosis]].{{sfn|Kleinman|1985|p=131}} On 13 April his chief physician informed him that his illness would be fatal.{{sfn|Kleinman|1985|p=137}} He died in Paris on 14 May 1643, the 33rd anniversary of his father's death. According to his biographer A. Lloyd Moote, <blockquote>"his intestines were inflamed and ulcerated, making digestion virtually impossible; [[tuberculosis]] had spread to his lungs, accompanied by habitual cough. Either of these major ailments, or the accumulation of minor problems, may have killed him, not to mention physiological weaknesses that made him prone to disease or his doctors' remedies of [[enemas]] and [[Bloodletting|bleedings]], which continued right to his death."<ref>{{harvnb|Moote|1989|p=292}}</ref></blockquote>
