This is the first scholarly study of the political and economic relationship between Louis XIV and the parliaments of France, the parliament of Paris and all the provincial tribunals. This study calls into question the current revisionist understanding of the reign of Louis XIV and insists that absolute government had a harsh reality at its core.
