EMBEZZLEMENT AND HIGH TREASON IN LOUIS XIV'S FRANCE: The Trial of Nicholas Fouquet
Fouquet was France's minister of finance until charged with embezzlement and high treason. Over a 3-year trial, he exonerated himself and embarrassed Louis XIV and his late mentor Cardinal Mazarin. This dramatic critique of absolute monarchy in pre-revolutionary France reveals the effect of this trial on the evolution of the French judicial system. Photos.
