A remarkable work.. Sandberg's study is a major contribution to the history of nobility in Modern France. French History Sandberg's solid study certainly complements the work of Arlette Jouanna and Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie and should be welcomed and praised for offering English-speakers a (rather rare) glimpse of Renaissance Languedoc and Guyenne. Renaissance Quarterly An important addition to the literature on the nobility of early modern France. Journal of Social History Sandberg has gathered a prodigious quantity of information and documentation that shifts attention from the oft-told story of a relentlessly centralizing monarchy to the fluid, insecure, and bellicose behavior of a regional nobility. Journal of Interdisciplinary History A great deal of new and fascinating research on an important topic. -- Ronald G. Asch American Historical Review Very good research. -- Jonathan Dewald Journal of Modern History
