Summary: "Histoire de France 1689-1715 (Volume 16/19)" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on a pivotal time during the reign of Louis XIV, detailing the complexities of political power, court struggles, and societal dynamics of France. Specifically, it examines the fall of key figures like Louvois, the impact of the royal court at Saint-Germain, and the interactions between political and religious factions. The opening of the work begins with the arrival of James II at Saint-Germain, marking a period of instability and introspection for France in 1689. The chapter discusses the looming questions surrounding the competency of Minister Louvois amidst general discontent and external threats. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights the internal court politics, Louvois's ambitious projects, and the construction of Versailles, offering a rich tapestry of the societal and infrastructural transformations taking place in the monarchy. Through this exploration, Michelet sets the tone for an in-depth analysis of both the grandeur and the failings of Louis XIV’s reign. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
