This book examines early modern politics, diplomacy and finance by
looking at the transfer of money and other resources between
sovereigns in return for military or political service, often known
as the payment of 'subsidies'. Focusing on payments made by the
French crown, the contributors explore how subsidies provided
opportunities for princes, statesmen, generals and merchant-bankers
to pursue their political goals. By highlighting the ways in which
the payment and acceptance of subsidies shaped concepts of honour
and reputation, the book shows how material interests and questions
of identity coalesced. The construction of states and the political
debates within polities are seen to have been influenced by the
movement of money and resources across borders. Consequently, the
interaction between financial and mercantile hubs and networks was
vital to state formation in early modern Europe. An electronic
