- Title
Custom, Law, and Monarchy. A Legal History of Early Modern France.
- Authors
Swann, Julian
- Abstract
On one level, the reformation of customs was about updating earlier records, but behind it lay the ambition, invoked at repeated assemblies of the Estates General, to streamline the law. As students of medieval and early modern France are usually quick to learn, the legal and administrative structure of the monarchy was bewilderingly complex. In this impressive and meticulously researched new monograph, Marie Seong-Hak Kim takes a fresh look at French legal development.
