The Medieval French Monarchy (European Problem Studies)

From Charlemagne to the French Revolution, Henneman gathers essays from prominent historians (mostly French), that offer a concise view of the monarchy. Giving an assessment of Philip 1, for example, and his struggles with the Papacy. Or the unity of the nation under Louis 7. Some chapters take us into the structure of the government, and how this changed slowly over time. Especially with an increasingly constitutional form of rule. A harbinger of the eventual revolution.
