Embezzlement and High Treason in Louis XIV's France

The Trial of Nicolas Fouquet

Beschreibung

Pitts uses the trial as a lens through which to explore the inner workings of the court of Louis XIV, who rightly feared that Fouquet would expose the tawdry financial dealings of the king's late mentor and prime minister, Cardinal Mazarin.
