The 'personal rule' of Louis XIV witnessed a massive increase in
the size of the French army and an apparent improvement in the
quality of its officers, its men and the War Ministry. However,
this is the first book to treat the French army under Louis XIV as
a living political, social and economic organism, an institution
which reflected the dynastic interests and personal concerns of the
king and his privileged subjects. The book explains the development
of the army between the end of Cardinal Mazarin's ministry and the
outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession, emphasising the
awareness of Louis XIV and his ministers of the need to pay careful
attention to the condition of the king's officers, and to take
account of their military, political, social and cultural
aspirations.
