Political role

Louis, duke of Burgundy

A wicked and arrogant young prince who respected no one, the duke of Burgundy was turned after much effort into a very pious and religious man by his tutor Fénelon (the famous archbishop of Cambrai). As early as 1702, the 20-year-old duke of Burgundy was admitted by his grandfather Louis XIV in the High Council (Conseil d'en haut), in charge of secrets of State regarding religion, diplomacy, and war.

The duke of Burgundy was influenced by the devout party (see dévots), and he was surrounded by a circle of people, known as the faction of Burgundy, most notably made up of his old tutor Fénélon, his old governor the duc de Beauvillier, the duc de Chevreuse (son-in-law of Colbert), and the duc de Saint-Simon (author of famous historical memoirs). These high ranking aristocrats were reformists advocating a return to a less absolute monarchy with councils and intermediary organs of powers (between the king and the people) made up of aristocrats (as opposed to commoners from the bourgeoisie who were appointed by Louis XIV) which would assist the king in the exercise of government power. There was the utopian ideal of a monarchy controlled by the aristocracy (seen as the representation of the people) and non-centralized (with vast powers granted to the provinces), which the duke of Burgundy would probably have applied had he become king. Dévots (pronounced /devo/ and meaning devout people in French) was the name given in France in the first half of the 17th century to a party following a Catholic policy of opposition to the Protestants inside France, and alliance with the Catholic Austrian Empire abroad. ...

The premature death of the duke of Burgundy ruined the hopes of his faction, and most of the men surrounding him died soon afterwards of natural death.
