Le pouvoir est alors assuré par sa mère Marie de Médicis, qui gouverne le royaume comme régente au nom de son fils. Marie de Médicis et son fils Louis XIII s'entendent mal. Marie de Médicis laisse gouverner ses favoris, Concino Concini et Léonora Galigaï. Louis XIII s'indigne de voir Concini, un étranger incapable selon lui, usurper le gouvernement de son État, tandis qu'on le relègue dans un coin du Louvre. Afin d'accéder au pouvoir, Louis XIII fait assassiner Concino Concini à coups de pistolet par le baron de Vitry, capitaine des gardes, le 24 avril 1617. Louis XIII exile sa mère Maris de Médicis à Blois. Le 22 février 1619, Marie de Médicis s'échappe du château de Blois et lève une armée contre son fils déclenchant la "première guerre de la mère et du fils". Le Traité d'Angoulême du 30 avril, négocié par Richelieu, signé le 30 juillet 1619, réconcilie officiellement le fils et la mère. Une faction de grands seigneurs se forme alors autour de Marie de Médicis. Le 4 juillet 1620, Louis XIII prend alors le parti de la guerre, c'est la "deuxième guerre de la mère et du fils". Les troupes du roi écrasent l'armée de Marie de Médicis à la bataille des Ponts-de-Cé. La réconciliation se fera à Brissac. The castle belongs to the family of Cosse-Brissac since 1502.
