Set in the context of the later Wars of Religion, it examines Henry's achievement in reforging an alliance with the towns by comparing his relationship with Catholic League, royal and Protestant towns. Annette Finley-Croswhite focuses on the symbiosis of three key issues: legitimacy, clientage and absolutism. Henry's pursuit of political legitimacy and his success at winning the support of his urban subjects is traced over the course of his reign. Clientage is examined to show how Henry used patron-client relations to win over the towns and promote acceptance of his rule. By restoring legitimacy to the monarchy, Henry not only ended the religious wars but also strengthened the authority of the crown and laid the foundations of absolutism. 410 0$aCambridge studies in early modern history. 517 3 $aHenry IV & the Towns 606 $aUrban policy$zFrance$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aMonarchy$zFrance$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aReligion and politics$zFrance$xHistory$y16th century 615 0$aUrban policy$xHistory 615 0$aMonarchy$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 676 $a944/.031/092 700 $aFinley-Croswhite$b S.
