Henry IV: King of France: Routledge Revivals
Autor David Buissereten Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2024
The life of Henry IV of France was not only dramatic, but it also made a profound difference to the shaping of France in the early 17th century. During his reign, the foundations of the ‘grand siècle’ were laid, not only in military and diplomatic affairs, but also in the arts.
Almost as striking as the personal contribution made by the king, is the remarkable willingness of the French nobility to wreck the whole recovery from forty years of domestic chaos by plotting with the Spaniards. Eventually, of course, one of these plots succeeded; Henry was killed, and the kingdom was plunged for a while into chaos. This book is a must read for students and researchers of French history.

Recenzii
Reviews of the first publication:
‘A highly readable, sound scholarly survey of France during the reign of Henry IV.’
--- American Historical Review
‘Buisseret writes with assurance. If the focus of this model brief biography is the King, the sections on the personnel and the institutions of the court, household and government are admirable in their sweep and compactness.’
