Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the 17th century province of Poitou, France. Commissioned by King Louis XIV's Finance Minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert, it is an extensive analysis of the economy, politics, and social affairs of the region. The work contains a catalogue of nobility from the area, outlining the powers and privileges associated with each noble family. It also includes a list of those found to be 'false nobles', offering insight into the class struggle and social mobility of the time. Examining the relationship between the monarchy and the aristocracy, the book also describes the influence of religion, governance, and feudal justice on everyday life in Poitou. It gives particular attention to the exploitation of the lower classes at the hands of the noble and wealthy elite, while also condemning the severe punishments meted out by the region's legal system. Though primarily focused on the specific issues of Poitou, this book provides an illuminating snapshot of life in 17th century France, shedding light on the workings of the French monarchy and the lives of its subjects.
