The Dynastic State and the Army under Louis XIV: Royal Service and Private Interest 1661-1701 (Cambridge Studies in Early Modern History) Book

Based on massive archival research, it examines the army not just as a military institution but also as a living political, social and economic organism. The author argues that the key to the development of Louis XIV's armed forces was the king's determination to acknowledge and satisfy the military, political, social and cultural aspirations of his officers, while upholding the position of the Bourbon dynasty.Read More
