1648 — The Thirty Years' War is on the verge of ending and the European balance of power is slowly shifting. France's great rival, Spain, is about to cede its place at the forefront. The conflict weighs heavily on the finances of the kingdom of France. The years following young Condé's victory over the Tercios of His Most Catholic Majesty at Rocroi have only worsened an already precarious financial situation. The regent, her prime minister and the king's council are pulling out all the stops to increase revenues. This could well plunge the kingdom into chaos. Format 21x25 paperback — 64 pages
