Provinces and Governments
In 1789, there were three kinds of administrative divisions in the Kingdom of
France.
The dioceses were ecclesiastic divisions, which dated back to the Roman times.
Roman Catholicism was the official religion of France, which was known as La
Fille Aînée de l'Eglise ("The Church's Elder Daughter"), following King Louis
XIII's vow.
The provinces were military gouvernements (governments), mostly established
in the 14th century. By the law of 18 Mar 1776 their number was fixed at 39 of
which 32 were grands grouvernements (greater governments) and 7 were lesser ones
or petits grouvernements enclaved into the greater ones. Smaller feudal
divisions remained as subdivisions of the governments. They were called
bailliages (bailiwicks) in the north of France, sénéchaussées in the south-west,
and vigueries in Provence. These are not covered in this record.
The généralités (generalities) and the intendances (intendancies) were
financial divisions, mostly established in the XVI-XVIIth centuries. An
intendance was the territory administrated by an intendant, who was the direct
representative of the King. In 1555, the first maîtres de requêtes, later
renamed intendants, were appointed. The intendants were the most powerful people
of the kingdom after the King himself, and their position was often dynastic.
The borders of the different divisions did not match each other. This lack of
unity was caused by the heterogeneous historical formation of France. The kings
progressively incorporated to their own domain (domaine royal) large feudal and
princely states, whose institutions and privileges they promised to respect.
Some provinces (Brittany, Provence, Béarn) recognized the King only as their
Duke, Count, or Lord. Several of these states kept their political institutions
(Etats [states]) and administrated taxes. As an example,
Provence, incorporated to France in 1481, kept its Etats in Aix-en-Provence and
had a specific "Provencal Constitution". Provence was divided into vigueries,
but its two main cities, Arles and Marseilles, had a specific status of terres
adjacentes à régime spécial ("adjacent areas with specific regime").
As explained by Alexis de Tocqueville in "L'Ancien Régime et la Révolution"
(1856), "the administrative centralization was an institution of the Ancient
Regime and not a realization
of the Revolution and the Empire, as often wrongly assumed." As direct
representatives of the Kings, the intendants gained more and more power, whereas
the military governor's function became purely honorific as early as in the 17th
century. At that time, Richelieu, one of the great reformers of the French
state, believed that powerful military governors were more a threat than a
protection for the royal power, and ordered the demolition of most fortresses
located quite far from the borders. In parallel, Richelieu consolidated the
power of the intendants, which was a convenient means to collect taxes from
reluctant local lords and thereby consolidate royal power.
The tax status of the provinces was also complex, at least nominally: in the
pays d'élections (most provinces), the taxes were administered in each
circumscription, called élection, by local representatives, called élus; in the
pays d'Etats (Bretagne, Bourgogne, Béarn, County of Foix, Languedoc, Provence
and Dauphiné), the taxes were administered by a provincial assembly, or Etats
(States). Some former feudal states, although no longer governments, kept their
States, e.g. Gévaudan, Velay and Vivarais. Of course, the King did not enjoy
those States, who often opposed to his decisions, and progressively suppressed
them or diminished their power; in the pays d'imposition (Flandre, Artois,
Lorraine, Alsace, Franche-Comté and Roussillon), which had been incorporated in
the 17th to the 18th centuries, there were neither élections nor états, and the
taxes were administered directly by the intendants.
The governments were formally abolished 1 Jan 1791. (2 or 3) denotes a second
or third order government, all the others are of the first order.

and "Line B2."
(Line B1 consists of Guillaume V, Guillaume VI,
Raymond II,
and Bertrand II; Line B2 consists of Raymond I and

Generalities
The first generalities (généralités) headed by an Intendant were created in
1542. At first these were a kind of financial assistant to the governors, but
later their power was gradually extended and from the reign of Louis XIV they
became the real heads of the regional administrations, being styled Intendant de
Justice, Police et Finances. At the end of the ancien régime there were 34
generalities. Some Intendants functioned until the newly created departmental
institutions took over (somewhere between Jun and Oct 1790) while others
resigned or fled after the revolution in 1789. Note: the frontiers of the
generalities and of the governments were not always coextensive.
