Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of accounts written by Mathieu Molà , a former Procureur Gà nà ral to the Parlement of Paris, about a series of significant events related to French monarchy during the tumultuous years from 1629 to 1633. The author's position afforded him a privileged point of view on events, such as the intervention of the French monarchy in conflicts between the Dukes of Savoy and of Lorraine and the revolt of Gaston d'Orlà ans, the king's brother, after the death of the king's father, King Henri IV. Molà 's accounts also mention a rising incidence of plague that plagued Paris during this period. Beyond their historical value, Molà 's accounts provide a fascinating insight into the tensions between the French monarchy and its subjects, as well as the internal rivalries that were rife at the time, giving a rare view into the realities of early 17th-century French politics.
