About the author

Louis XIV

373 books5 followers
A magnificent court, the expansion of influence in Europe, and the establishment of overseas colonies characterized the longest reign of Louis XIV, known as the Great and the Sun King in history of France from 1643; he waged three major wars and in 1685 revoked the edict of Nantes and thus caused thousands of Huguenots to leave.

Found a concise copy at department store in Guadeloupe; a fact I admired given that the code details how enslaved people were to be regarded in the French colonies, like Guadeloupe. Kudos to them for engaging with a brutal, inhumane history and for making that information available at a cash register next to the mints. This is a valuable read.

One star on principle.
