1652: The Cardinal, the Prince, and the Crisis of the 'Fronde'
Parrott, David (Professor of Early Modern History, Professor of Early Modern History, University of Oxford)
Parrott challenges the near-universal notion that the French civil war of 1648-1652 was a predictable, trivial clash between royal forces and ministerial modernity. Instead, he challenges notions about the rule of the Cardinal-Ministers, Mazarin and his predecessor, Richelieu, and their contribution to creating the 'absolutism' of Louis XIV.
