Considerations upon appointments

Louis XIV's brother Philippe, duc d'Orléans- known as Monsieur- was a major asset whom Louis shrank from deploying to full advantage. Philippe had captured Zutphen in 1672 and Bouchain in 1676, before winning a major victory at Cassel in 1677 and following it up with a successful conclusion to the siege of Saint-Omer. Louis was proud of his brother's achievements, even to the point of placing a vast canvas by van der Meulen of the battle of Cassel on the great staircase at Versailles, but he was also horrified at Monsieur's disregard for his own safety. He was henceforth confined to acting as Louis's deputy when they campaigned together, as in 1684 and 1691, though in 1693 he was entrusted with command in western France. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to see this last appointment as an insult by an insecure elder brother, for in the Nine Years War Louis was consternated by the prospect of an Anglo-Dutch attack on the French coast. He could spare few regular troops for such an eventuality, but instead placed his trust in Monsieur. In the event of an invasion probably only Monsieur (or the king of the Dauphin themselves) could have mobilised the gentlemen of Normandy, Brittany and Poitou in sufficient numbers to make up a force capable of repulsing the Allies when backed by a handful of regular battalions and several regiments of milice. Based at Laval in Mayenne, from where he could rush to any part of the coast, Monsieur was a highly active commander who not only supervised military administration but also repaired major local highways. But his career was also governed by that of his older brother, and when the king retired from active campaigning so too, for precisely that reason, did Monsieur. Considering the duke was still in rude health, though aged fifty-three, with years of invaluable experience behind him, it was a dynastic decision which Louis could perhaps, at the time, ill afford to make.

Louis trusted Monsieur but he could not allow himself to be completely outshone by him. Yet when it came to the Condé Louis revealed all the submerged prickliness and insecurity of his character. Unsurprisingly, at first Louis was reluctant to place too much faith in the Grand Condé who had fought against him for eight years before 1659, and though Condé was more experienced in the Low Countries than Turenne he was not a commander in the first year of the War of Devolution. It would be an error, though, to assume that Condé was brushed aside owing primarily to royal paranoia. Contrary to what has been assumed, his exclusion from command in 1667 was not due to lingering royal resentment, but because, according to the Savoyard ambassador, the money he was owed by Spain, and which was enumerated in the treaty of the Pyrenees, was in arrears, and would be threatened by his participation in an active assault on the Spanish Netherlands. This money was considered necessary because of his likely candidature for the throne of Poland. Later that year, however, Condé was named as commander of the army of Germany, in part so that Turenne would realise he was not indispensable.

A young and brave rebel

Vauban, who was all his life to be a loyal servant of Louis XIV, yet began his military career as a rebellious Frondeur. It must be said that the young Le Prestre joined the rebellion more by accident than by conviction. In the Fronde army, Vauban, who had a little knowledge of fortification, already manifested a predilection for the work of military engineering. He took part in the early 1650s in the design of the defenses of the town of Clermont-en-Argonne in Lorraine, and distinguished himself during the siege of Sainte-Menehould. His gallantry was rewarded by the rank of cavalry master. Vauban then saw action in different operations during which he was wounded several times.

In 1652, the Parisian rebels were beaten after the intervention of Turenne's royal troops. The cardinal of Retz, the principal chief of the Fronde revolt, was arrested, and Louis XIV triumphantly made his entry in Paris and firmly imposed his authority. The Fronde was defeated […]

In spring 1653, Vauban was captured by a royal patrol, but still mounted on his horse and with his loaded pistol in hand he negotiated the conditions of his surrender. Mazarin, to whom the anecdote was told, was amused and summoned Vauban. It did not take long for the cunning cardinal to convince the young and brave rebel to enter service in the army of the legitimate king.
