This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXII. The Declining Health of Louis XIV.--Efforts to divert him.--Attacks on Jansenism, by Louis and the Jesuits.--Death of the Duke de Berry.--Last Malady of the King.--His affecting Interview with his Great-grandson.--His Speech to his Ministers.--His last Words.-- His Character.--The Views of St. Simon and Voltaire on his Character and Reign.--Effects of his Reign on France. This historical study would be incomplete without some reference to the closing period of the life and reign of Louis XIV., a reign, perhaps, with the exception of that of Bonaparte, the most eventful of modern history. During the year 1715, the great ruler, who, for a period of upwards of fifty years, had, by his ambitious and restless spirit, kept Europe in a state of agitation and alarm, and whose influence had been that of a master mind for good or evil, advanced in years and bowed down by mental affliction and grave maladies, became, from day to day, more incompetent to wield the extensive powers entrusted to him. When the great King became failing in his bodily health and despondent in spirit, everything was done about the Court to divert his mind, and overcome the grief, lassitude and ennui which oppressed him. Concerts, theatrical exhibitions and other entertainments were arranged, in his private rooms, to give amusement to one who had exhausted life and its pleasures. Actors, dancers and singers, the charms of beauty and the luxuries of the banquet, however, now gave no relief to his jaded mind, nor turned it from its sad contemplations. Madame de Maintenon, who had the task of entertaining him, exclaimed in despair: "What a punishment to have to amuse a man who is no longer to be r mused!" The diversions of Courts, the dreams of ambition, the...

Book excerpt: The Peace of Utrecht (1713), which brought an end to the War of the Spanish Succession, was a milestone in global history. Performances of Peace aims to rethink the significance of the Peace of Utrecht by exploring the nexus between culture and politics. For too long, cultural and political historians have studied early modern international relations in isolation. By studying the political as well as the cultural aspects of this peace (and its concomitant paradoxes) from a broader perspective, this volume aims to shed new light on the relation between diplomacy and performative culture in the public sphere. Contributors are: Samia Al-Shayban, Lucien Bély, Renger E. de Bruin, Suzan van Dijk, Heinz Duchhardt, Julie Farguson, Linda Frey, Marsha Frey, Willem Frijhoff, Henriette Goldwyn, Cornelis van der Haven, Clare Jackson, Lotte Jensen, Phil McCluskey, Jane O.

Download or read book Peace was Made Here written by Renger Evert Bruin and published by Michael Imhof Verlag. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treaty of Utrecht does not exist, at least not in the form of a single document bearing the signatures and seals of all parties. Instead it comprises a series of treaties, concluded in 1713 and in subsequent years, and not just in Utrecht but also in the South-German town of Rastatt, in Swiss Baden, and in Madrid. These treaties represent a turning point in world history. They not only put an end to a long series of wars that left much of Europe in ruins, but also to conflicts involving overseas colonies. A European exhibition is highlighting this historical event; first in Utrecht and then, in adapted form, in Madrid, Rastatt and Baden. In this book, scholars from the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Great Britain and the United States describe and explain well-known and especially less-known aspects of war and peace. The catalogue section provides explanatory notes to the main items displayed in the exhibitions.

Download or read book Balance of Power and Norm Hierarchy Franco British Diplomacy after the Peace of Utrecht written by Frederik Dhondt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balance of Power and Norm Hierarchy: Franco-British Diplomacy after the Peace of Utrecht offers a detailed study of French and British diplomacy in the age of ‘Walpole and Fleury’. After Louis XIV’s decease, European international relations were dominated by the collaboration between James Stanhope and Guillaume Dubois. Their alliance focused on the amendment and enlargement of the peace treaties of Utrecht, Rastatt and Baden. In-depth analysis of vast archival material uncovers the practical legal arguments used between Hampton Court and Versailles. ‘Balance of Power’ or ‘Tranquillity of Europe’ were in fact metaphors for the predominance of treaty law even over the most fundamental municipal norms. An implacable logic of norm hierarchy allowed to consolidate peace in Europe.

The marechal de Villars engaged him, on the 24th of July, in the memorable battle of Denain, the success of which had so much influence on the progress of the negociations. On the 3rd of July, the king of Spain had read to his council a solemn declaration announcing his resolution to facilitate the conclusion of the proposed peace, by the renunciation which was required of him. He would do it, he said, in order that the Spanish monarchy might be assured to his descendants. On the 8th of July he signed a decree, of which the preamble is thus conceived: --"The assurance that the crowns of Spain and France should never be placed on one and the same head has been one of the principal and most powerful motives of the war xchich has afflicted Europe to the present day: it has been also as the preliminary in the views which have been entertained for peace, and especially in the propositions which have been recently made in England. It is upon that that the foundation of this work has been placed, and it has been judged requisite to establish the certainty that at no time, nor by any incident and event that may be, shall the two monarchies be united in one and the same person; and it is upon this point and upon others that the congress now holding at Utrecht has been agreed to, to treat of the other articles of peace, and regulate them; during which negociations the unforeseen deaths of the Dauphins having happened, England took the opportunity of carrying her views so far as the prevention and annulment of the effects of any other accident that might again happen "That crown has, therefore, proposed that I should renounce, in my name and in...
