Remonstrances from Parliament on Edict Coin Reform in France
The Paris Parliament delivers a humble remonstrance to King Louis about a forthcoming coin edict. It cites prior royal and parliamentary precedents, urges proper promulgation, and argues that coin reforms must protect the state and public welfare. The document recounts historic arrests and royal refusals, and calls the King to revoke harmful coin measures if they threaten the realm. Meanwhile, reports from Europe note the Spanish fleet and allied forces massing with 30,000 troops, awaiting orders at sea.
