Abstract

[fre] Résumé La prise du pouvoir de Louis XIV, en 1661, est habituellement considérée comme le prélude à la mise au pas de l'aristocratie. En fait, le règne a largement restauré une stabilité perdue par les grandes familles pendant l'administration de Richelieu et de Mazarin. Louis XIV s'est montré soucieux de réguler la distribution des gouvernements de provinces et des offices de la Couronne. Il a ainsi consolidé, et non anéanti, la domination sociale et la prééminence politique de la haute noblesse. C'est en ce sens que 1661 inaugure véritablement une rupture et le début de relations pacifiées qui expliquent la disparition des soulèvements aristocratiques importants. [eng] Abstract The Sun King's accession to personal power, in 1661, is usually presented as the first moment of the aristocratic subjugation. In fact, the reign has largely restored a stability who was lossed by the greatest families during the administration of Richelieu and Mazarin. Louis XIV acted as a scrupulous regulator in distributing provincial governments and Crown offices. He consolidated, rather than demolished, the social domination and the political preeminence of the high nobility. In this way, 1661 is really a great divide, the beginning of a pacificated relationship who explains the end of serious aristocratic usprisings.
