Louis XI
Louis XI.
During the League of the Public Weal revolt in 1465, while the malcontent princes sought to challenge the authority of Louis XI, the King maintained support from specific segments of society.
Specifically, the bourgeoisie rallied to his side, and the lesser gentry refused to join the uprising against the crown.1
Although the League attempted to gain broader support by appealing to the people against what they termed misgovernment, these key groups remained loyal to the King, helping him navigate the political instability of the period.21
