Lesdiguières, last Constable of France in 1 volume large in-12 faux leather, 202 pages - Beautiful copy. The work is devoted to François de Bonne, Duke of Lesdiguières (1543-1626), a great figure of Dauphiné, who became Marshal of France in 1609 and then Constable of France in 1622 under Louis XIII. He is traditionally regarded as the last holder of this office. Origin and role; The stables: In the beginning, the constable was in charge of the king’s horses and stables. Chief of the armies: His function grew over time. From the 12th century, he became the sovereign head of the king’s army. Military power: He commands soldiers in battle and gives orders to the marshals of France. In the king’s absence, he replaces him to lead the country. King Louis XIII definitively abolished this office after the death of Lesdiguières to prevent a single person from having too much military power. Organization of the Armed Forces of France designed according to the notion of social unity and preceded by the examination of the French army in 1867 in 1 volume large in-12 half calfskin, corners percaline, 280 pages - Light external wear, fresh interior - Pleasant copy. [A With a Note from the Author] The book is particularly interesting because it does not seem to be merely a technical military treatise. Fourier starts from the examination of the French army as it exists in 1867, then proposes an organization of the armed forces based on a broader notion of “social unity.” The context is the Second Empire, on the eve of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The year 1867 is also the year of the Paris Universal Exposition, in a France where issues of recruitment, reserve, the national guard, territorial organization, and military power are the subject of extensive debate. Le Fils du Connétable in 1 volume large in-12 red cloth binding with romantic decorations, all edges gilt, 189 pages - Light external wear, fresh interior - Pleasant copy. Rousselet tells the story of an alleged descendant of the constable Charles III of Bourbon (1490–1527). According to this narrative, Charles de Bourbon is said to have had a hidden son, generally identified in tradition as Jean-Philippe de Bourbon, whose line would have gone to the Indies. This story is one of the ancient sources of the tradition concerning the “Bourbons des Indes,” a family established notably in Bhopal.
