Picardy emerged as a province after the campaigns of 1470-1477, and its experience of the first period of absolutism provides an enlightening contrast with that of other, more outlying provinces: the Picard nobility was notable for the extent of its participation in the army, the court and the government of France. David Potter provides a detailed analysis of the organisation of French military power in the province, and its impact during the period of the Habsburg-Valois wars. The work concludes with Picardy about to enter a difficult period of civil war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939952754976,"sku":"NEW0521893003","price":56.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/war-and-government-in-the-french-provinces-0521893003","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
