Provinces of France to 1791 (original) (raw)

Provinces of France before 1791

Provinces and Governments

In 1789, there were three kinds of administrative divisions in the Kingdom of France.
The dioceses were ecclesiastic divisions, which dated back to the Roman times. Roman Catholicism was the official religion of France, which was known as La Fille A�n�e de l'Eglise ("The Church's Elder Daughter"), following King Louis XIII's vow.
The provinces were military gouvernements(governments), mostly established in the 14th century. By the law of 18 Mar 1776 their number was fixed at 39 of which 32 were grands grouvernements (greater governments) and 7 were lesser ones or petits grouvernements enclaved into the greater ones. Smaller feudal divisions remained as subdivisions of the governments. They were called bailliages (bailiwicks) in the north of France, s�n�chauss�es in the south-west, and vigueries in Provence. These are not covered in this record.
The g�n�ralit�s (generalities) and the intendances (intendancies) were financial divisions, mostly established in the XVI-XVIIth centuries. An intendance was the territory administrated by an intendant, who was the direct representative of the King. In 1555, the first_ma�tres de requ�tes, later renamed intendants, were appointed. The intendants were the most powerful people of the kingdom after the King himself, and their position was often dynastic.
The borders of the different divisions did not match each other. This lack of unity was caused by the heterogeneous historical formation of France. The kings progressively incorporated to their own domain (domaine royal) large feudal and princely states, whose institutions and privileges they promised to respect. Some provinces (Brittany, Provence, B�arn) recognized the King only as their Duke, Count, or Lord. Several of these states kept their political institutions (Etats [states]) and administrated taxes. As an example,
Provence, incorporated to France in 1481, kept its Etats in Aix-en-Provence and had a specific "Provencal Constitution". Provence was divided into vigueries, but its two main cities, Arles and Marseilles, had a specific status of terres adjacentes � r�gime sp�cial ("adjacent areas with specific regime").
As explained by Alexis de Tocqueville in "L'Ancien R�gime et la R�volution" (1856), "the administrative centralization was an institution of the Ancient Regime and not a realization
of the Revolution and the Empire, as often wrongly assumed." As direct representatives of the Kings, the intendants gained more and more power, whereas the military governor's function became purely honorific as early as in the 17th century. At that time, Richelieu, one of the great reformers of the French state, believed that powerful military governors were more a threat than a protection for the royal power, and ordered the demolition of most fortresses located quite far from the borders. In parallel, Richelieu consolidated the power of the intendants, which was a convenient means to collect taxes from reluctant local lords and thereby consolidate royal power.
The tax status of the provinces was also complex, at least nominally: in the pays d'�lections (most provinces), the taxes were administered in each circumscription, called �lection, by local representatives, called �lus; in the_pays d'Etats (Bretagne, Bourgogne, B�arn, County of Foix, Languedoc, Provence and Dauphin�), the taxes were administered by a provincial assembly, or Etats (States). Some former feudal states, although no longer governments, kept their States, e.g. G�vaudan, Velay and Vivarais. Of course, the King did not enjoy those States, who often opposed to his decisions, and progressively suppressed them or diminished their power; in the pays d'imposition (Flandre, Artois, Lorraine, Alsace, Franche-Comt� and Roussillon), which had been incorporated in the 17th to the 18th centuries, there were neither �lections nor �tats, and the taxes were administered directly by the intendants.
The governments were formally abolished 1 Jan 1791. (2 or 3) denotes a second or third order government, all the others are of the first order.

Lorraine et Barrois (Lorraine and Bar)

Flag of Duchy of Lorraine

11 Aug 843 Kingdom of Francia Media (Middle France) founded at the
division of the original Frankish Empire by the Treaty of
Verdun (it included modern Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands,part
of eastern France, Switzerland, and part of northern Italy).
29 Sep 855 At the death of King Lothaire I, the kingdom is divided between his
three sons. By the Treaty of Pr�m, the northern part of Francia
Media (Middle France) is established as the Lotharii Regnum
(Kingdom of Lotharingia); including modern Netherlands, Belgium,
Luxembourg, and parts of eastern France and western Germany.
8 Aug 869 At the death of Lothaire II his lands are divided between his
uncles Ludwig II King of East Francia and Karl (Charles) II King
of the West Franks (Francia Occidentalis).
9 Aug 870 Treaty of Meersen formally divides Lotharingia - the western
half goes to West Francia and the eastern half to East Francia.
880 Treaty of Ribemont settles conflict between East and West Francia,
whereupon the western part of Lotharingia is added to East
Francia.
May 895 - 13 Aug 900 Lotharingia (Lotharii Regnum (or Regnum quondam Lotharii ["kingdom
once Lothair's"] restored for Zwentibold, son of Arnulf King
of East Francia (Germany).
13 Aug 900 Lotharingia effectively integrated into the East Frankish (German)
kingdom following the death of Zwentibold, but this was contested
the West Franks.
24 Jun 903 - c.910 Gebhard (Gebehart) is appointed Dux regni quod a multis Hlotharii
dicitur ("duke of the kingdom that many call Lothair's") by King
Ludwig IV of Germany.
928 King Heinrich I of East Franks (Germany) creates Giselbert, son of
Reginar I, as dux (duke), effectively creating the Duchy of
Lotharingia, as a fief of the East Franks.
959 Duchy of Upper Lotharingia (Lorraine)(more or less modern French
Lorraine and Luxembourg) and Duchy of Lower Lotharingia
(Lorraine) created (within Lotharingia to 965).
1183 Decline of the Duchy of Lower Lotharingia (Lorraine) is hastened by
the rivalry between the counts of Limburg and Louvain. The Duke of
Lower Lorraine, Henri de Louvain, adopts the title "Duke of
Brabant" (confirmed by Emperor Heinrich VI in 1090) and drops the
title Duke of (Lower) Lotharingia (although the last recorded use
of the latter title was as late as 1222).
1301 France annexes territories east of Meuse River.

Generalities

The first generalities (g�n�ralit�s) headed by an Intendant were created in 1542. At first these were a kind of financial assistant to the governors, but later their power was gradually extended and from the reign of Louis XIV they became the real heads of the regional administrations, being styled Intendant de Justice, Police et Finances. At the end of the ancien r�gime there were 34 generalities. Some Intendants functioned until the newly created departmental institutions took over (somewhere between Jun and Oct 1790) while others resigned or fled after the revolution in 1789. Note: the frontiers of the generalities and of the governments were not always coextensive.
