Tuesday we will continue to discuss the history of executive power in France by considering both the image put forth by the absolutist monarchy (notably Louis XIV) and how that image was challenged and new conceptions of executive power put forth during the French Revolution of 1789-1799.
For those interested in seeing how the French of this period viewed their monarch, consider the various images available online here from a web-based, multi-media resource guide on the French Revolution entitled "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" published by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.
