Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 3 of 5: From the Time the French Monarchy Was Established in Gaul, to the Death of Lewis the Fourteenth Lewis XI. received the news of the king his father's death at Genep, the same day that it happened. If we may believe the historian of Flanders, this prince, how much soever he was practis'd in the art of dissimulation, was not so reserved upon this occasion, but that it was visible he was more delighted with the thoughts of a crown, than concern'd at the loss of a father. He went to Reims without further delay to solemnize his coronation, where he was consecrated on the fifteenth of August, and soon after made his entry into Paris, being then just arrived at the 39th year of his age. - Every body was in suspence, and the court especially had their eyes upon all the steps of this new king.
