Full textThe historians call the son of Louis XIV Grand Dauphin to differentiate him from his son Louis, duc de Bourgogne became dauphin in 1711. The king called him Monseigneur. He was sung of as son of the king, father of the king, never the king himself. Son of the king : he was born in 1. XI. 1661 : the Pope was his godfather and the Queen of England his godmother. His guardian was the duc de Montausier and his tutor, Bossuet. He attended the Royal Councils and represented the king in Paris. He acquired the skills of dancing, horse riding and the handling of weapons. In 1688, the king having entrusted him with the commandant of the Army of the Rhine, he forced Phillipsburg to surrender, which geatly enhanced his reputation. Father of the king : in 1700 Charles II of Spain selected as his successor Philippe the second son of the Dauphin who manipulated the system to enable the will to be accepted depite his own rights since, legally speaking only he, as Dauphin, was entitled to the throne of Spain. Louis XIV loved his son who met all his wishes as a father. In 1680 he married Marie-Anne of Bavaria who bore him three sons. Louis duc de Bourgogne, father of the future Louis XV, Philippe duc d'Anjou, future king Philipp V of Spain and Charles duc de Berry. Never the king : the Dauphin devoted himself to his favourite pursuits; hunting, festivities, music and operas. He constructed a new castle at Meudon, the Château Neuf, where the apartments were arranged in a novel manner with a central corridor making the various rooms independent from one another

Full textHow did people influence the decisions of the absolute King? This work analyses the mutation of the "devout party" configuration at the Court of France, under King Louis XIV, King Louis XV and King Louis XVI. The first part of this thesis shows that the "devout party" represented a royal catholic faction in the XVII century and at the beginning of the XVIII century. This kind of organized party was based on patronages and families that defended State Catholicism ideas in the same vein as cardinal de Richelieu. A second part deals with the change of the royal catholic faction into a proto-party which was supporting absolutism against Parliaments. Progressively, people entering this party were mostly defending ideas rather than being loyal ta social conventions. Since 1769, the "devout party" was confronted in the government to the wearing down of the power and to internal quarrel. At the beginning of 1780, the "devout party" had lost its political weight

Full textSeignelay was the first to admit that in spite of suffisant budget, Louis XIV's navy could not have more men and ships than the english and the dutch. So, he bet on technical innovations and resorted to peripherical strategy. After the defeat of la hougue, pontchartrain rebuilt the navy and kept same choices. Privateering was but a complementary element in a long time warfare. During the Spanish war of sucession, after four years of war with large fleet, financial difficulties drawed france to a systematicaly resulting to privateering and protection of convoys. During the regn of Louis XV, Maurepas bet on technological progress to make up for the English superiority in numbers an specialised the French navy to protecting convoys. In 1749, Louis XV refused Maurepas's reconstruction project. The English led by Walpole and Anson had a superiority of three ships to one and during the seven years war methodically destroyed the trade and the French colonies. Privateering then turned into a meager compensation. Choiseul's arrival allowed a first set of reforms but budgets were never sufficent until 1777. After two years of stratefic wawerings, France choose for a peripherical strategy including convoys and privateering which gave her the victory

Full textThe cabinetmakers of the Crowon who worked under the reign of Louis XIV, between 1660 and 1715, fort the Garde Meuble and the Bâtiments du Roi, formed a particular group of craftsmen gathering together Catholics and Protestants. Some were Franch, born in Paris or in the provinces of the Kingdom, others were foreigners and came either from Northen Europe or from Italy. Like the French cabinetmakers, the naturalized foreigners, such as Jean Armand, Pierre Gole, Michel Campe, Alexandre-Jean Oppenordt and Domenico Cucci, enjoyed the same privileges relates to the statute of officers of the Maison du Roi. They received wages and pensions, workshops and accommodation in the Galleries of the Louvre or in the Manufacture of the Gobelins, or in other places belonging to the Crown, thus profiting from the statute of "lieux privilégiés" which allowed them to exercise their profession without undergoing the constraints of Parisian corporatism imposed by the "jurande" of the carpenters and cabinetmakers. In spite of the privileged statute of cabinetmaker of the king, they established working relationships and of socio-professional endogamy within the community of the Parisian cabinetmakers and followed the same process of training, etc. , as it appears in the study of their biographies. Reflection of the personal taste of the king, their deliveries did not exclusively mark the evolution of the royal furniture but also the one of Parisian furniture in general.

Full textL’intégration de la Catalogne dans la monarchie française, en 1641, ouvre une période de coexistence de deux univers politiques. Pour la France l’incorporation de la nouvelle province intervient dans une société éprise d’héroïsme. Le règne de Louis XIII apparaît comme la culmination d’un processus de reformulation du paradigme héroïque: modèle politique et référent étique nobiliaire. La guerre espagnole porte la culture héroïque à son paroxysme. Singulièrement la proclamation du roi comme souverain de Catalogne ouvre des nouveaux horizons à cet imaginaire mobilisant aussi des référents messianiques anciens. Le récit de l’entreprise catalane produit par l’entourage royal offre un nouveau regard sur la construction de l’image de Louis XIII. L’horizon catalan «achève» la construction de son profil héroïque, et lui sert d’apothéose, valorisant le fait d’une mort «sacrificielle» conséquence de la présence royale au siège de Perpignan. Les vice-rois deviendront aussi le centre d’un récit héroïque, protagonistes d’une vraie «épopée catalane». Les lumières et les ombres de cette expérience héroïque du politique apparaissent dans le destin, parfois tragique, de ces représentants du roi, qui doivent faire face, outre aux défis militaires et politiques relevant de sa charge, aux equilibres de pouvoir à la cour. Du côté catalan l’avénement de Louis XIII s’inscrit dans la dynamique «révolutionnaire» entamée en 1640. Le meneurs de la révolte, qui se veulent fidèles au roi, Philippe IV, formuleront un récit capable d’apprivoiser des événements parfois leur échappant. L’horizon d’une «restauration» providentielle de Catalogne intervient. Le «moment» républicain semble ici introuvable, entre l’interruption formelle de la juridiction d’un roi et l’acclamation de l’autre. Des lors se développe un discours providentiel de restauration de la province à travers la royauté incarnée par un nouveau prince «messie». L’image du roi devient un idéal sur lequel l’on projette les attentes politiques et par lequel les propres dirigeants de la «révolte» cherchent à se justifier. La visite manquée du roi à Barcelone, précédée de peu à sa mort. Les funérailles royales serviront à la cristallisation de ce récit, et offriront par l’image du roi «sacrifié» et «canonisé», un emblème pour le régime français en Catalogne.
The integration of Catalonia into the French Monarchy, in 1641, opens a period of coexistence of two political universes. In France, The incorporation of the new province arrives in a social context under the influence of an strong culture of heroism. Under Louis XIII’s reign culmines a processus of reformulation of the heroic paradigm: a political model of gouvernement and an ethical referent for the French nobility. The heroic culture is taken to its paroxysm when the Spanish war begins. Specially the proclamation of the king as sovereign of Catalonia opens new horizons for this imaginary, mobilizing also old messianic referents. The narrative of the catalan entreprise developed by the royal entourage offers a new perspective of the Louis XIII’s image making processus. The catalan completes the built of the king’s heroical profile, and serves to make his apotheosis, emphasizing the fact of a sacrificial death as a consequence of the royal presence in the Perpignan’s siege. Vice-rois become the center of an heroical narrative also. They are protagonists of a true «catalan epic». The lights and darkness of this heroical experience of Politics, appear throw the destiny, sometimes tragic, of these king’s agents (and images). They have to face, besides the military and political challenges, to the power’s struggles at court. By the catalan side, the accession of king Louis XIII has to be considered in the «revolutionary» context of 1640. The leaders of the revolt, who revendique to be loyal to their king, Philip IV, build a narrative able to tame serious adverse events, that sometimes escape to their control. The horizon of a providential «restauration» of Catalonia appears in this narrative. Republican time seems here «introuvable», between the broken of one king’s jurisdiction and the other king proclamation. Since then a providential propaganda speech about the restauration of the Principality throw a royalty incarnated by a new prince «messiah». The new king’s figure becomes one idealized image where Catalans look to project their political expectatives. Also a way for the catalan leaders to justify himself. The failed royal visit to Barcelone precedes for little the king’s death. The royal funerals serves to the crystallization of these narratives: they offer the image of an «sacrificed» king, who is also a saint. He becomes the real emblem of the franco-catalan regime.

Full textThis doctoral dissertation studies the dark image of Louis XIV in the iconography of three European powers: France, United Provinces and England. The corpus rests on diverse sources : prints, medals, and even playing cards, all produced between the outset of the War of Devolution (1667) and the king’s death in 1715. These criticism and satire through imagery come as a reaction to the French military offensives as well as to the domestic policy led from Versailles, especially regarding religious affairs.First, we will analyse how this iconography started, by setting the context, identifying artists and sleeping partners, and by stating the targeted market. Then, we will focus on specific art works. As the target of these graphic attacks, Louis XIV is described as a bloody tyrant craving for a universal monarchy and as a follower of devious morals. A diachronic view allows us to observe the evolution of the accusations cast towards the king and to show the close relationship between sources and current affairs. Finally, we will analyse the rhetoric used by the accusers and focus on the aims and impacts of these defamatory images.Produced while the power of the press was emerging and then passed on through pamphlets and subversive songs, this iconography represents cutting remarks against surging images glorifying the Bourbon, and proves the growing politicization of Europeans at the end of Great Century and the dawn of the Enlightenment
Gauthier, Patricia. "Littérature et utopie en France sous la règne de Louis XIV." Lyon 3, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991LYO31014.
Full textDo the utopias published in the reign of louis xiv correspond with an anti-establishment movement against the royal politics ? may we consider them as revolutionary texts? a comparative study of cyrano, tyssot, fontenelle, gilbert, lesconvel, foigny, vairasse, fenelon or mlle de montpensier's works shows that their pure literary stakes do not to be sneezed at. These texts take their form from imaginary or real accounts of voyages, from education's novel, sometimes with a picaresque accent, or from philosophical dialogue. So there is no real "utopian genre" but a many-sided matter which favours the finest intellectual subtlety. This fact explains, as much as the aspiration for change, the succes of these works during this period. This subtlety puts the discourse under the sign of figurative, that means ambiguous, speech and belongs to the critical purpous (social, political or religious). The criticism is often virulent ( the texts denounce the collusion between power and religion, they demand liberty of conscience or envisage to abolish property, hereditary nobility or clergy) but it is not necessarily opposed to the prevailing ideology of that time. It reactivates some libertine philosophy's points by subjugating them in a "middle-class" ideal that no one determinism could totaly explain

A book keeper on a ship of the west indies company, he becomes a merchant captain, getting involved in the slave trade in the Antilles. He is the founder of the first colonial French empire in Senegal. In 1686 he joins the king's navy and wins renown during the taking of St Christopher in 1689 and the liberation of Guadeloupe in 1691. As the governor of santo domingo, he leads his buccaneers against Jamaica in 1694, then against Cartagena of Indies in 1697. He allows the french side to have a hand in the sugar cycle which just like the illegal trade with the spaniards, is the origin of his fortune. He gets back to france in 1700 and negotiates the asiento with philippe v the following year. During the succession war in Spain, he defends the catholic king's american colonies three times, bringing back to Madrid the necessary amount of silver for supporting the effort of war. At the siege of Barcelona, he was still to be in command of the franco-spanish naval forces. He died, exhausted, in Bourbon l'Archambault on the 25th of july, 1715. Admiral du casse's case is unique under the old regime: besides his extraordinary elevation to the rank of lieutenant general and commander of Saint-Louis's order as well as captain general of the naval armies of the king of Spain (who awarded him the golden fleece), he gained
Maral, Alexandre. "La chapelle royale de Versailles sous Louis XIV : architecture, institutions, liturgie." Paris 4, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040041.
Full textFive chapels succeeded each other between 1661 and 1715. The chapel built in 1672, whose decoration was mainly due to Le Brun, was the most remarkable of the first three, whose existence was nevertheless very short. The chapel built in 1682, designed to be temporary, lasted in fact until 1710. Its internal decoration can be easily reconstituted. The last chapel, consecrated in 1710, was planned and built over a period of twenty years, and to the boldness of its architectural style it adds an amazing richness in its deeply symbolical iconography. The services of the chapel royal of Versailles were ensured by two groups of ecclesiastics: the king's household officers and, after the installation of the court at Versailles in 1682, the priests of the mission, also known as lazarists. Each of these institutions carried out precise functions, which have been rediscovered thanks to the sources coming from the officers of the king's household and the regulations of the chapel. It is through this latter document as well as the contemporary chronicles that the everyday life of the chapel can be reconstituted. The liturgical ceremonies, during which music was given a very important place, were numerous and varied. The fathers of the mission performed them with an immutable regularity, while the ecclesiastical officers of the king's household followed the movements of the court. Besides the ordinary masses and offices, which were identical to those performed in parish churches throughout the kingdom, some ceremonies in the presence of the king and his family took place in the chapel at Versailles. These particularly included princely baptisms and weddings, feasts of the order of the saint-esprit, bishops’ oaths and cardinals' receptions. In other respects, the almost sacerdotal function of the most Christian king was expressed by some rites which attributed an episcopal role to the king, like those of the aspersion of holy water, the kissing of the gospels and of the corporal, the incensing, the celebrant's bows. All these elements enable us to establish a coherent understanding of the king's religion in the context of the daily life of the French court at Versailles

The reform was critical to many landlords (the Nobility, the Church and cities), because a considerable portion of their lands had been encroached on the royal demesne.

Full textThe evolution of guitar in Louis XIV 's time (in fact, from 1610 to 1715) was studied through the texts of the period. Three main periods were noticed in this evolution. The first one lasts from 1610 to 1661 (beginning of the personal reign of Louis XIV ); it contains the beginning of growing up of guitar, favored by a Spanish fashion in France, the royal ballets practice and the Italian theater fashion. The second period goes from 1661 to 1700, and includes the zenith of guitar fashion. Among the causes are the glamour and the influence of the king, himself a guitarist, and of the court, the fashion of court ballet, the vogue of instrumental accompaniment of singing and of continuo. As a consequence appears, from 1682, an original and clever French music for guitar, and beautiful guitar manufacturing, until the end of the 17th century. The third period, from about 1700 to the death of Louis XIV (1715) shows a wane of guitar, following a disappearing of Italian theater in the court, and of royal fests and entertainments. This vanishing is demonstrated by a decline of number of professional musicians and by a disappearing of good guitar manufacturing and musical publications after 1705

In the hierarchy of proper authorities in supply, the municipality held a role of police mattering as regards the goods forwarded in the capital by waterway. Indeed, the Seine was considered like Space out founder of the municipal power. The control of the commercial transactions over the river was the reserved domain of the municipal administration: it exercised this mission through these officers. These last ones were appointed to the various operations of measurement, check of quality and quantity, porterage, credit and publicity. The fates of these officers were closely connected, on one hand, to the history of the Parisian municipality and to the big changes in its reports with the royal power; and, on the other hand, in the history of the venality of offices and credit of the State in the Century of Louis XIV

Full textGilbert Colbert de Saint-Pouange (1642-1706) who was a Colbert on his father’s and Le Tellier on his mother’s side, succeeded his father in 1663 as a head clerck of the War Department. He was essentially in charge of logistics to the army, but sometimes also represented his cousin Louvois and even the king. Up to 1701 he gave them a systematic account on everything he had noticed. At the same time he was appointed « secrétaire ordinaire » of the King’s Chamber and Cabinet. In 1701, Louis the XIV made him a « Grand Trésorier et Commandeur » in the King’s Orders. From 1670 to 1701, he had an almost daily mail exchange with Louvois, and later with Barbezieux. Aboiut 1000 mails and bills are preserved until now in the Historical Department of Defense. Their detailed studies give a very interesting information on the various rules and proceedings of Louis XIV’s government. The survey first concerns the proceedings of war management which involved the creation of défense administration tending to rationalise itself. It became the pattern of all other administrative services of the kingdom. This correspondence further reveals logistic as a primordial stratégic necessity. The mails allow to understand the king’s primordial interest in the Northern and Eastern borders and further to notice the upcoming idea of « pré carré » and « frontières naturelles » , according to Vauban’s theory, clearly appear into those mails. They also show in which way general administration and even war one could be in charge of recently enobled civilians. Finally, these mails exchanged between the king’s cooperators reveal the progressive birth of the notion of State (notion d’État)

Full textUsing the numberless documents about the health of Louis XIV, it's possible to study the king's body from a triple point of view (medical, political and cultural). The purpose of such a work is not to reconstitute the chronology of the king illnesses, is rather to articulate sickness, medical knowledge and many strategies of power. "So precious health" was really an affaire d'État both for the medical household (Vallot, Daquin, Fagon) and the courtiers. It was necessary to celebrate every great recovery (typhoidal fever in 1658, fistula in 1686) using the usual means of the monarchic glorification. From this study attentive to the links between body, power and representations, it appears a bio-history in gestation

Full textEpitomized by Vauban’s construction of the military port and arsenal at Toulon (1680-1706), the history of the navy of the Levant under Louis XIV is one of industrial evolution and technological innovation encouraged by Colbert and Seignelay. The establishment by Daliès of the first military-industrial complexes, the invention of the mortar by Landouillette and bomb-carrying galleys by Renau went side by side with the creation of a powerful navy and the installation of a modern infrastructure. Vauban's arsenal, half-completed, cost 4,7 million livres on as much as the chateau of Marly, while a total of 26 million livres was spent on the 87 vessels built at Toulon between 1660 and 1706. By comparison, operating expenditure on the Toulon arsenal between 1680 and 1706 reached 85 million livres. Some 900 vessels were fitted out at Toulon from 1660 and 1706, 270 for Spanish waters, 250 for service off the barbary coast and 180 for Italy and Sicily indicating the operational missions of the Levant navy. The men and the artillery of the navy (which played a decisive role in siege warfare) earned their reputation under Louis XIV

Full textLouis XIV’s son (1661-1711), known as “Monseigneur” and later called the “Grand Dauphin”, was next-in-line to the throne for forty-nine years. His education, under the supervision of the Duke of Montausier and Bossuet, represented an opportunity to define and disseminate a culture of obedience which Louis XIV needed in order to assert himself in a France which had only recently overcome political and religious strife. The prince’s authority was built up thanks to the efficient use of social trappings: a sumptuous court life, his collections of art, his patronage, his buildings, but also through the figure of the warrior prince. He represented a considerable political asset for Louis XIV, not only for his international policy due to the fact that he was heir to Phillip IV, but also because he gave political longevity to the sovereign. The concentration of sovereignty in the hands of the king made the Dauphin deeply dependent on his father. During his everlasting wait to accede to the throne, the Dauphin found himself in legal limbo: a private individual without really being one, the Dauphin had large revenues at his disposal without having his own property and could avail of the prestigious logistical organization of the King’s household without having his own household or chamberlain. One could argue that he was as much the son of Louis XIV as he was a son of State

Full textFrom 1650 to 1789, Parisian perfumers underwent a fundamental transformation of their craft. Previously glove makers, they broadened their skills to include perfumery, which was then in full expansion. Manufacturers and merchants of multiple perfumed products, scented waters, powders, ointments, pastes, pastilles, potpourris, gloves, fans, they rely on the legal framework of the institutions to build a lucrative monopoly. The court constituted the primary clientele of these craftsmen. It gave rise to the creation of an entire olfactory apparatus to meet the needs of etiquette and fashion. The evolution of cultural tastes and hygiene practices led to the development of French perfumery. This primo-luxury craft benefits from a positive image for the economic wealth it produces. The perfumers who supply the court succeed in their career and reach a comfortable financial and material level on the condition that they manage to develop their networks of suppliers of raw materials and manufactured products, to build up a large clientele, to temper and control the sale on credit in order not to be short of cash and to make their trade and their patrimony grow. The influence of social origins is indisputable: a third of these craftsmen were the sons of perfumers. The matrimonial alliances they made expressed a clear endogamy and hypergamy. The perfumers who supplied the court were mostly from the provinces of the kingdom. Grasse and Montpellier stand out in particular. The Huet and Dulac family dynasties are models of successful craftsmanship and social status

Full textIn my thesis, I analyse a series of conspiracy narratives published in the reign of Louis XIV by such authors as Sarasin, Retz, Saint-Réal, Vertot, Le Noble, etc. Though pertaining to a variety of literary genres, the corpus texts share a paradoxical aesthetics alternating between praise and condemnation, rendering their political significance difficult to decipher. To this end, the first part of my thesis reconstitutes the historical, theoretical and aesthetical context in which conspiracies occurred. This approach highlights various aspects of the same paradox : from historical point of view, the corpus texts appeared when the nobility tended to disregard conspiracy as a means of action ; in the history of ideas, philosophers could not always keep the theory of absolutism clear of the compromising topic of conspiracy and, in literature, praise for the king and praise for conspirators were often intertwined to convey a dual message of virtue and obedience. Thus it is at the level of aesthetics that an answer to the political ambiguity of the corpus texts should be sought. With this in mind, in the second part of my thesis, I analyse firstly the specificity of each text and show that despite their link to history or the historical novel, they do not form a genre apart. Instead, the coherence of the corpus texts is to be found in the aesthetics of paradoxical praise for peace and in the reassuring virtues of narratives which, to the readers’ delight, use the threat of the fall of empires as a means of showing the benefits of a stable and glorious monarchy

Full textThe fortune of every architect who lived and worked in Jules Hardouin-Mansart’s shadow seems to be reversed only by the gradual rise of monographs devoted to them. Here is the prior aim of this essay. Pierre Bullet appears to be one of those oversights whose role seems hard to capture. However, through his constructive work, other activities and his Architecture pratique does he testifies to an evolution in the ways of both seeing and doing architecture, as in the constructive habits. This study is directed at defining and explaining this evolution while seizing Bullet’s place in it. It splits in three parts. First we review the constructed work, then outline the categories and specifications of the inventing process by the study of the many drawings preserved at the National Museum of Stockholm. At last Bullet’s major writing, the Architecture pratique, is explored both as itself and as a testament of the normalization process in progress at the end of 17th century. This essay is complemented by several tools and documents: one volume of appendix containing transcripts of unpublished writings of Bullet; a catalogue of works; a catalogue of drawings gathering all papers attributed to Bullet kept at the National Museum of Stockholm; a cumulative and critical edition of the Architecture pratique

Full textThis thesis aims at a better understanding of the notaries' clientele in modern history. The research work has been carried out along three main lines. First of all the relationships between the lyonnais society and the body of notaries in the seventeenth century. We intend here to study the profession of a notary during this period since it is essential to a good understanding of the relationships notaries has with the different sorts of clients. We will be dealing especially with the behaviour of the lyonnais society towards the notaries of the town but also with the notaries' clientele in the suburbs of lyons. The second part of this study deals with the social role of the lyonnais notaries in the seventeenth century. In that type of society where dominating-dominated relationships prevailed, the notary had a very specific part to play, being in charge of authenticating a certain number of deeds as well as making up for a non-existent legislation. As well as being an ombudsman (whose dealing was extended as far as cultural affairs) he was a counsellor. Through these functions the notary served as a link between the different social strata and that led us to a more accurate view of the role of the notaries of the nobility closely. .

Full textThis study deals with a Parisian notary who was from tours and who had been practicing for twenty years. The analysis of this notary's social environment introduces us in the world of the bourgeoisie and the notary profession in Paris. It enables us to understand the conditions of integration of provincial French peoples into the Paris of the second half of the 17th c. It also gives us the chance to study the profession of notary closely. The second part is a study of the clients of this notary. We analyse the original characteristics proper to this case by distinguishing between occasional and regular clients and by classifying them according to their places of origin, their sex and their profession. A chapter is devoted to study of some important clients. Finally, a third part deals with the practice of the notary profession and the importance of its archives as a source of the study of the economic and social situation in those days

Full textThe 17th and 18th centuries appear as a period of conquests and territorial changes in Europe, particularly in Flanders. In 1668, the southern part of the former Spanish Low Countries are attached to the French crown. To bring peace back in the province, Louis XIV decided to create a court for the newly conquered territories, the conseil souverain of Tournai. This sovereign court replaced the former councils of Flanders and Mons and the Great Council of Malines to judge in appeal the cases brought before the courts of the annexed territories. In 1686, the institution obtained the title of parlement to be definitely assimilated. During its first years of existence, the parlement of Flanders had to assert its particularities. Indeed, when Louis XIV created the court, he promised to keep the Flemish customs and privileges. He therefore appointed local jurists who knew them. In 1691, Ladislas de Baralle became General Procurator. He had one of the longest careers, twenty-three years of office. If today the prosecutor’s function mainly applies to litigation, his role during Ancien Régime was much larger. He embodied the King’s prerogatives and ensured the enforcement of royal legislation in the parlement’s jurisdiction. In spite of his promises, Louis XIV tried progressively to enforce “French” law and procedure in the realm while Flanders asserted its particular Coutumes and privileges. Born in Flanders but representing Louis XIV, how could Baralle balance both roles ?
