Summary

Dominique Pagani mentions Louis XIII mainly to characterize a period that he clearly distinguishes from that of Louis XIV12. He describes this reign as a time of regencies and political instability, marked by the revolt of the great nobles, which he links to the baroque, to salon culture and to the era of the précieuses3. For him it is also the age of Descartes, when Versailles is still only a hunting lodge4, an image he takes up again in 2022 regarding the "little Versailles" mentioned by Trézène5. He associates this reign with a few measures that prepare the transition to absolute monarchy6: the Paulette edict7 and the ban on duels imposed on the nobility of the sword8. Louis XIII thus serves him as a historical landmark for situating a moment of transition, between baroque instability and the centralized order of Louis XIV.
