Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Engraving showing Hugues de Lionne, French secretary of state for foreign affairs, during an audience with the new Turkish ambassador to the court of Louis XIV in 1669. Lionne tells the ambassador that France has no Grand vizier, that all the ministers of the king are mere implementers of his orders. Caption: "The King, my master, governs all by himself, he sees everything, he hears everything, he commands everything..." The engraving is at beginning of the first chapter of a 1708 book tracing the history of the regalian powers of French kings over the Church. The document praises the absolute powers of French kings. |
