Parliamentarians (France) (Reign of Kings)

Parliamentarians were the supporters of the Parliament of France, during the Liberal Wars and Second Fronde. Along with the Legitimists they fought against the Absolutists who claimed rule by absolute monarchy and the principle of the 'divine right of kings'. The goal of the Parliamentarians was to give the Parliament supreme control over executive administration of the kingdom. The Parliamentarians were subdivided into two political parties the Constitutional Feuillants and the Progressives.
