The Fronde: Early Reign Of Louis XIV
Fronde
The Fronde was a series of uprisings that occurred during the early reign of Louis XIV. The nobility was unhappy with the growing royal control and increased taxation, and they encourage peasants to rebel. As a child, King Louis XIV witnessed the rebellions that occurred during the Fronde. The Fronde occurred from 1648 to 1653 and ended when Louis XIV came to power. The Fronde eventually ended when the peasants became sick of war and began to distrust the nobility. The peasants began to trust the crown more than the nobility, as they needed a strong government to restore the state of France. The Fronde is significant because it began Louis XIV’s great distrust of the nobility. This distrust motivated Louis to enact many reforms throughout
