Lecture 10 - Reform and its
Discontents, 1600 - c.1660

Traditional Historiography
Birth of absolutism, "the state" and a decline in violence - state formation

Crucible of modernity - birth of absolutism

Sovereign authority of the king and apparatus that supports this authority

What is the reality? - Continuities

Endurance of the idea of reform

Dynastic instability, the over-powerful magnate & venal officeholders

Solution: control of patronage and the need to build a clientele network

What was new - sense of change

France becomes involved in foreign wars

Increase in taxes and shift in the role of the state - military-fiscal state

How the idea of reform and mixed monarchy clashes with the needs of war and taxation

Shift in an idea of politics - reason of state


The Crisis of Authority
1617 Assassination of Concino Concini, Marquis d'Ancre and Marshal of France

Corpse was subjected to ritual humiliations

Castration

Eyes gouged out

Nose cut off

Bits of his body were sold as souvenirs

Dehumanising him - gendered nature of citizenship and politics

The reward for success was great - the risk of failure was lethal

Coup d'etat in 1617 did not bring stability
