Statutes of the Principality

 Following the example of Louis XIV and Colbert’s legal codification efforts in France, the statutes of the Principality or the “Louis Code” were promulgated in 1678 by Louis I, whose father had died, and who had been the direct successor of his grandfather, Honoré II.

Prince Honoré II was received several times in Paris and was granted the dukedom of Valentinois. He was among the most important members of the kingdom’s nobility, and was a member of the Parisian parliament. Louis I, who was the godson of Louis XIV, was involved in numerous French wars before being named ambassador to the Pope by the king. This act of trust confirmed the integration of the Prince into French affairs.
