The political culture of absolute monarchy that structured French
society into the eighteenth century is generally believed to have
emerged late in the sixteenth century. This new interpretation of
the origins of French absolutism, however, connects the
fifteenth-century conciliar reform movement in the Catholic Church
to the practice of absolutism by demonstrating that the monarchy
appropriated political models derived from canon law. Tyler Lange
reveals how the reform of the Church offered a crucial motive and
pretext for a definitive shift in the practice and conception of
monarchy, and explains how this First French Reformation enabled
Francis I and subsequent monarchs to use the Gallican Church as a
useful deposit of funds and judicial power. In so doing, the book
identifies the theoretical origins of later absolutism and the
structural reasons for the failure of French Protestantism.
