1686 Attack on Louis XIV of France French Politics Government Christian Princes

 

‘The True Interest of Christian Princes’ was a late 17^th-century French pamphlet written by an unknown author who was highly critical of Louis XIV of France.

The author is unknown and the publisher’s name Jean Marlorat is also presumed to be fictitious, as no other instances of Marlorat appeared in print.
