	LOUIS XI. OF FRANCE - LoveToKnow Article on LOUIS XI. OF FRANCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Louis X. is a somewhat indistinct figure among the kings of France, the preponderating influence at court during his short reign being that of his uncle, Charles of Valois.
		The alliance with Savoy was sealed by the marriage of Louis with Charlotte, daughter of Duke Lodovico, in 1452, in spite of the formal prohibition of Charles VII.
		Louis made light of the whole incident in his letters, but it marked the greatest humiliation of his life, and he was only too glad to find a scapegoat in Cardinal Jean Balue, who was accused of having plotted the treason of Peronne.

		Louis then forced the duke of Brittany to make peace, and turned against John V. count of Armagnac, whose death at the opening of March 1473 ended the power of one of the most dangerous houses of the south.
		Louis was the soul of all hostile coalitions, especially urging on the Swiss and Sigismund of Austria, who ruled Tirol and Alsace.
		Louis was to marry Anne of Austria, daughter of the Spanish king, Philip III., and the Spanish prince, afterwards Philip IV., himself was to marry the Princess Elizabeth, the king's sister.

	Louis XI, king of France. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Louis began his reign by dismissing many of his father’s best advisers; but he soon deserted his former allies of the Praguerie and began the task of centralizing all authority in the crown.
		Louis, however, succeeded in buying off Edward IV when he invaded (1475) France to aid Charles, and in uniting the enemies of Charles the Bold, among whom the Swiss were the strongest.
		Louis preferred men of humble origin, and among his advisers were Olivier Le Daim, Louis Tristan L’Hermite, and Cardinal Balue, whom he rewarded liberally, though he was niggardly in his own expenses.

		Louis XI was ugly, while Charles the Bold, the Duke of Burgundy was as handsome as a Greek god.
		Louis XI rushed to Péronne, sure that he would find a dejected Charles the Bold; instead, this turned into the Péronne incarceration, during which King Louis XI remained the Duke of Burgundy's prisoner until he signed all that Charles needed to remain the leading player in the West.
		Louis XI still had to learn "the tricks of the trade"; he was too greedy and too quick off the mark, and Charles the Bold pulled a great coup on him with the Péronne meeting.

		In 1474 Louis XI took over the administration of Anjou, and in 1476, as it was reported that Rene had been meditating the bequest of Provence to Charles of Burgundy, the King forced on the old Duke a treaty whereby he engaged never to cede any part of that province to the enemies of France.
		The difficulties of Louis XI were very great, and the results of his military expenditure on the whole commensurate with the sacrifices, but he seems in his later years to have been driven by nervous fear to excessive precaution.
		The France of Louis XII is the justification of Louis XI.

	The Richard III and Yorkist History Server
		At the celebrated interview between Charles the Rash and Louis XI at Péronne, he acted in such a way (in what way it is still not entirely clear from his own cryptic remarks and from the independent evidence of other sources) that Louis XI believed thereafter that he owed his life largely to Commynes.
		Louis XI favoured him by staying at Argenton in November and December 1481, after a second bout of illness and Commynes joined the King on his journey to Saint-Claude in 1482.
		He shows how in 1465 Louis XI, far from keeping to an established plan in dealing with the uprising of the princes, in which he tried to avoid the hazards of battle at all cost, had seriously underestimated the strength of the opposition and the dangers facing him until it was almost too late.

		Louis XI was king of France from 1461 to 1483.
		However, Louis knew about the power of money and bought off Edward IV in the Merchant's Peace of Picquigny in 1475 when he was given a lump sum of 75,000 crowns with the promise of 50,000 crowns a year and the betrothal of Louis's son to Edward's daughter.
		This was reversed by Louis and it is likely that this happened as he feared the power of the Emperor who was the temporal defender of the Catholic faith on Earth and who would be called on by the Pope to restore his power.

	Louis XI, créateur de l'Etat-Nation

		Louis garantit l'expansion des manufactures en subventionnant les villes, y compris les cités médiévales; ces subventions provenaient de l'impôt sur le revenu, levé en proportion inverse à la productivité du contribuable, afin de décourager la richesse improductive et d'encourager le travail qualifié.
		Louis rédigea des milliers de lois, qui furent lues sur les places publiques à travers la France, pour à la fois informer la population des nouveaux règlements et l'inviter à participer aux activités économiques ainsi créées.

	Commonwealth of France’s Louis XI
		France's King Louis XI, who reigned from 1461 to 1483, created the modern form of nation-state, or commonwealth, in which the nation's wealth is seen as the common property of the nation and its whole people; which wealth is a function of the increase in the free energy of the economy as a whole.
		Louis needed a single national currency and a unified investment plan, which prioritized the physical economy; his dirigist program had to include a tax-incentive program, and of no less importance, he needed a national credit policy that would foster capital-intensive investment.
		Louis XI's conception of the commonwealth was based on the potential contribution individual subjects could make to the development of the whole nation, if given the opportunity to do so.

	Louis XII—The Rosebush of War
		THE ROSEBUSH OF WAR was composed near the end of King Louis XI's life in 1483, to instruct his son and heir Charles in the principles and impulse which guided Louis in creating France as history's first nation-state commonwealth.
		Nothing concerning the person of Louis could be further from the truth, as the reader will readily see expressed through the principles he set forth for the ruling of a commonwealth.
		Louis is not referring merely to the knights or noblemen who composed the mounted forces of the army, but is speaking more broadly of a new national military.
