| Summary | "Histoire de France 1466-1483 (Volume 8/19)" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines a pivotal period in French history, focusing on events during the reign of Louis XI, including the recovery of Normandy and the tumultuous dynamics with the Burgundians. The narrative unfolds amid political complexities, highlighting the interplay between various factions and regions, particularly Liège and its historical significance in the broader context of France. The opening of this volume introduces the political landscape of France during the late 15th century, particularly under Louis XI. It begins with a critique of the fragile treaties that divided power between Rouen and Paris, treating them as a symbolic death of a unified French kingdom. In this period, the narrative reveals the escalating tension in the aftermath of conflicts where Louis XI seeks to regain control of Normandy and involves himself indirectly in the strife of Liège and Dinant against the powerful Duke of Burgundy. The tone is reflective and analytical, as Michelet emphasizes not just the political maneuvers but also the human experiences of the people affected by these historical events, setting the stage for deeper explorations of the regions' complexities as the story develops.
