Project Gutenberg 2007-06-21 Public domain in the USA. 152 Marsy, Arthur de 1843 1900 Nicolas Foucquet, surintendant des finances Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at DP Europe (http://dp.rastko.net) "Nicolas Foucquet, surintendant des finances" by Arthur de Marsy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of Nicolas Foucquet, who served as the superintendent of finances for King Louis XIV and became a prominent figure during a tumultuous period in French history. It delves into not only Foucquet's personal and political journey but also the broader financial and political landscape of 17th century France. In this detailed examination, the author presents Foucquet's rise from a young man of a notable family to a significant political player during the Fronde. The narrative highlights his complex relationship with the king, financial dealings, and subsequent downfall, which culminated in his imprisonment in the Bastille and eventual exile. Through meticulous research and a wealth of historical context, Marsy elucidates Foucquet's ambitious nature, political maneuvers, and the intrigues that ultimately led to his disgrace, all while portraying the social dynamics of the court and the challenges of governance at that time.
