| Summary, etc. | From 1661 to 1664, France was mesmerized by the arrest and trial of Nicolas Fouquet, the country?s superintendent of finance. Prosecuted on trumped-up charges of embezzlement, mismanagement of funds, and high treason, Fouquet managed to exonerate himself from all of the major charges over the course of three long years, in the process embarrassing and infuriating Louis XIV. The young king overturned the court?s decision and sentenced Fouquet to lifelong imprisonment in a remote fortress in the Alps. |
