Fleury, Andre Hercule de

    0.01 sec.

Fleury, Andre Hercule de (1653–1743)

French cardinal and statesman. Fleury had been Louis XV's teacher, and in 1726 he became both a cardinal and the king's chief minister. An adept financier, he turned France's economic deficit into a surplus of 15 million livres. Fleury's stable domestic administration was not matched by his conciliatory foreign policy, and his concentration on economics left him unprepared for the 1726 War of the Polish Succession.
