La Prise De Decision En France (1525-1559): Recherche Sur La Realite Du Pouvoir Royal Ou Princier a La Renaissance

This collection of articles examines how political decisions were made and communicated in Renaissance France. Between the 14th and 16th centuries, methods evolved, and each king exercised different methods. In addition, the different social and political networks involved for each period had varying effects on the royal decision making process. Official acts were often used to communicate decisions, but epistolary means could sometimes suffice, and the royal secretary gained considerable importance over the course of the 16th century. Finally, the reception of judicial promulgations begs the question of the level of control exercised by the various groups involved. These articles thus shed new light on political society in the Early Modern state. French text. Table of Contents O. PONCET, La prise de decision royale et princiere en France, entre 1525 et 1559. C.
