Comment

Misery struck in 1626-1627: the war abroad and the war at home brought the burden of taxes to twice the revenue. The devastation wrought by the troops in Burgundy was immense. The creation of the Court of Aids further increased public burdens, and the Estates proposed humble remonstrances to the King.
