Abstract

[fre] Résumé Dès le début de son règne personnel, Louis XIV réforma fondamentalement les institutions militaires françaises de manière à mieux les contrôler et à augmenter l'efficacité de son armée. Les réformes initiées par Louis inclurent la soumission des gouverneurs de places fortes et des commandants d'armée et la fin des pillages perpétrés par ses troupes à l'intérieur du pays. Il augmenta également dans de grandes proportions la taille de l'armée en temps de paix et en temps de guerre. Bien qu'il ne parvînt jamais à résoudre le problème délicat des finances en temps de guerre, il apporta des changements profonds et définitifs à l'armée royale. [eng] Abstract Early in his personal reign, Louis XIV fundamentally reformed French military institutions to assert royal control and to increase the effectiveness of his army. Reforms initiated by Louis included the subordination of fortress governors and army commanders and the end of pillage by his troops within the borders of France. He also greatly expanded both the peacetime and permanent army. While he never solved critical questions of war finance, he brought important and lasting change to the army.
