By Charlotte Lennox, Maximilien De Bethune Sully, Maximilien de Béthune

Book Overview

This historical volume combines the memoirs of Maximilien de B thune, Duke of Sully, a key figure in the court of King Henry IV of France, with an account of the trial of Jean Fran ois Ravaillac, the assassin who murdered Henry the Great. Translated from the French and adapted by P.M. de L' cluse de Loges, and with an English translation by C. Lennox, the memoirs offer invaluable insights into the political intrigues, military campaigns, and personal life of one of France's most influential statesmen.

Sully's memoirs provide a detailed firsthand perspective on the reign of Henry IV, covering topics such as the king's efforts to restore peace and prosperity to France after decades of religious conflict, as well as Sully's own role in managing the royal finances and implementing important economic reforms. The inclusion of Ravaillac's trial transcript offers a chilling glimpse into the mind of a regicide and the circumstances surrounding the fateful assassination that plunged France into mourning. Together, these documents offer a comprehensive portrait of a pivotal era in French history.
