They contain information on the political dispositions of the leading royal officials and on the lineage 'alliances' and the properties of a vast number of French noblemen in the provinces. Robert Cecil, son of Elizabeth's minister Burghley, was certainly involved in their composition, which seems to have been written by those involved in English missions to France in the early 1580s. The texts are accompanied by full annotation, which explains the complexities of the many individuals and families discussed. The introduction discusses the authorship of the documents and the assumptions of their writers as well as the context of foreign news reporting in the period.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Traité des princes, conseillers et autres ministres de l'estat de France Part I, Traité Part II, Notes to Part I, Notes to Part II, Richard Cook's Description de tous les provinces de France\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20modern%20history:%20c%201450\/1500%20to%20c%201700%20%5BHBLH%5D%22\"\u003eHBLH\u003c\/a\u003e], British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e], European history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on European history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22European%20history%20%5BHBJD%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913220383000,"sku":"9780521847247","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521847247i_a6db7fa2-72eb-4b2d-b87f-605012696844.jpg?v=1691368774","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/foreign-intelligence-and-information-in-elizabethan-england-volume-25-two-english-treatises-on-the-state-of-france-1580-1584-hardback-9780521847247","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
