Monarchs and Ministers Eye Fiscal Reform Across Europe
Fragmentary letters recount political and economic debate in Europe. An anonymous author in France proposes taxing ecclesiastical wealth and reassigning monastery incomes to crown finances. Reports from Turin, Venice, Vienna, and Hanover describe royal audiences, military preparations, war risk with the Turks, and court intrigues. News of births, marriages, deaths, and local incidents punctuate the dense dispatches from multiple capitals.
