The Fronde: A French Revolution (Revolutions in the Modern World) Book

The "Fronde" was a long period of instability, violence and war that swept France between the years 1648-52 when Mazarin's unpopularity and high taxes marked the outbreak of revolution. The state administrators became lawbreakers as the treasurers declined tax payments, bringing the administrative machinery to a near-halt. The judges of Paris refused to hear cases and it became a contest of wills between the ministry and the crown.

This is the story of that revolution, of the events and personalities that constituted the "Fronde".Read More
