{"product_id":"war-and-government-in-the-david-potter-9780521893008","title":"War and Government in the French Provinces","description":"Few studies of the history of provincial France have hitherto spanned the conventional medieval\/early-modern divide, and David Potter's detailed examination of war and government in Picardy, a region of France hitherto neglected by historians, has much to say about the development of French absolutism. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Potter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521893003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521893008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.04w x 1.04d","brand":"David Potter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443509604607,"sku":"9780521893008","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79e788e9-cb6e-421a-ad92-42bb8c6331cd.jpg?v=1777205964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-and-government-in-the-david-potter-9780521893008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
