In 1614 the French Estates General met for the last time before the
Revolution of 1789. The meeting marks the beginning of the
political career of Cardinal Richelieu and provides an opportunity
for studying the regency of Marie de Medicis. In another sense 1614
marks the end of the Estates General in its early modern form of
three separate estates preparing lists of grievances from the
preliminary lists submitted to each deputy by his electors, while
attending to the needs of the king. This book provides a full
description of that last meeting in 1614, based on extensive
research into political pamphlets, diplomatic correspondence,
records of the royal councils, local and national cahiers and the
proces-verbaux of the meetings. The author sets the period in the
wider context of the history of France from 1598 to 1616, with
particular attention to economic conditions and international
relations.
