His excessive vanity hadto be appeased by expensive entertainment and show. He preferred thespectacular but woeful feats of arms to the less pretentious but moresolid triumphs of peace. Indeed, in course of time, Colbert found hisinfluence with the king waning before that of Louvois, and when he diedit was with the bitter thought that his financial retrenchment had beenin vain, that his husbanded resources were being rapidly dissipated inforeign war. It was Louis's wars that deprived his reign ...of truegrandeur and paved the way for future disaster.
[Sidenote: Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685] Before turning our attention to the foreign wars of Louis XIV, mentionmust be made of another blot on his reign. It was Louis XIV who renewedthe persecution of the Protestants. He was moved alike by theabsolutist's desire to secure complete uniformity throughout France andby the penitent's religious fervor to make amends for earlier scandalsof his private life. For a time he contented himself with so-calleddragonnades--quartering licentious soldiers upon the Huguenots--but atlength in 1685 he formally revoked the Edict of Nantes.
