Raised and educated in Turin, Seyssel entered the service of the French king to facilitate the French invasion of Italy. His wide experience as a jurist, royal counselor, diplomat, propagandist, translator, historian, and prelate informed his unique political perspective. As a witness to the failures of the French in the Italian Wars, he maintained that successful conquest and occupation resulted from superior discipline and order as well as from the elimination of social conflict. In his view, a state with a well-ordered system of law and a wide base of popular support was best-suited to conquer and maintain an empire. His application of Italian political language to French society and government produced a vision of war, politics, and society with radical implications for French history.Brill's studies in intellectual history ;v. 156.Political scienceHistory16th centuryPolitics and warHistory16th centuryMonarchyFranceHistory16th centuryFrancePolitics and government1328-1589Political scienceHistoryPolitics and warHistoryMonarchyHistory320.44409/024Boone Rebecca Ard1494352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782475803321War, domination, and the monarchy of France3717783UNINA
