Francis I and Absolute Monarchy (General series, G72)
32pp stapled booklet in stiff card, illustrated covers. 8vo. Covers very slightly rubbed on corners, remains of removed price label on front panel. Internally neat, clean and tight, pages just a little creamy. Francis I of France has been largely neglected by historians. This booklet examines the nature of his monarchy and his absolutist form of Government in 17th century France, when the Estates-General went into abeyance and the system of Royal intendes was fully developed.
