The Fronde refers to a series of civil wars in France that occurred between 1648 and 1653, primarily during the early reign of King Louis XIV. The rebellions were fueled by discontent among nobles, the Parlement (the judicial body), and the general populace against royal authority and heavy taxation. The term "Fronde" itself means "sling," symbolizing the resistance against the monarchy. Ultimately, the Fronde failed to achieve its goals and reinforced the central power of the monarchy, paving the way for Louis XIV's absolute rule.
