Excerpt from The French Renaissance
The government of Charles VIII. And Louis XII. Was patriarchal rather than despotic, but the essential absolutism of both monarchs is shown by the fact that their Italian expeditions were undertaken against the real interests of the nation, and at the prompting of favourite ministers.
