Excerpt from Études sur le Régime Financier de la France: Avant la Révolution de 1789
En 1589, la mort de Henri III laisse la couronne au chef de la maison de Bourbon. En 1595, Henri IV a vaincu la Ligue, et aprčs trente années de guerres, de complets et d'anarehie, la paix au dehors, l'ordre et la réconciliation au dedans assurent au pays un repos qu'il n'eveit jamais connu. Sully, avec sa rude énergie, fait pénétrer dans l'ad ministration les principes d'une rigoureuse probité et d'une sévčre économie. Il diminue la dette de l'état, en męme temps que, par une meilleure gestion, il accroît son revenu, tout en soulageant les contribuables par une répartition plus équitable de l'impôt Au désordre, aux dilapidations, ŕ la ruine succčdent comme par enchantement, la régularité, le respect et la defense des intéręts publics, l'abondance dans les caisses du trésor, l'activité et la richesse dans toutes les branches de la fortune nationale. Ce rčgne de quinze ans est la'plus courte de toutes les époques financičres qui vien nent d'ętre énumérées il n'est pas besoin d'ajouter que c'est la plus grande par le bonheur et la prospérité qu'elle donnés ŕ la France.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Roman taxation system in Gaul during the medieval period. The author argues that the Roman system of taxation continued to exist under the rule of the Franks and was transformed into seigniorial payments, forming a key element of feudal lords' incomes. The book challenges the idea that the Frankish conquest liberated the population from Roman taxes, suggesting instead that they continued to bear heavy burdens, which were now collected by feudal lords. This claim is supported by an analysis of historical documents, including royal edicts, church records, and legal codes. By tracing the evolution of Roman taxes into feudal dues, the book sheds light on the origins and development of the feudal system in France. It also provides insights into the economic and social conditions of the medieval period, revealing the complex relationship between rulers, landowners, and the peasantry. Overall, this book enriches our understanding of the transition from Roman to feudal society in France, highlighting the continuity and transformation of taxation and its profound impact on the development of medieval institutions.
