The Fronde was a series of civil wars in France that revolted against the rule of Louis XIV during his childhood and early reign, primarily between 1648 and 1653. Nobles, parliamentarians, and commoners opposed the increasing centralization of power and the heavy taxation imposed by the monarchy. Key figures in the Fronde included the Prince de Condé and Cardinal de Retz, who sought to challenge Louis XIV's authority and the policies of his chief minister, Cardinal Mazarin. Ultimately, the revolt failed, solidifying Louis XIV's absolute power and leading to a more centralized state.
