Philippe of Orleans, nephew of Louis XIV, seizes regency with the favour of the general reaction; he gives initially some satisfaction to the Parliament, the nobility, with the opinion, but manners are slackened like the government, and the Dubois minister is the object of a scandalous fortune.
The regent is impotent to raise finances; with end of resources, it has recourse to the expédients, and the system of the Law Scot (pronounce lâsse) leads to a disastrous bankruptcy.
A outside the regent, gave up suddenly the policy of Louis XIV, is combined in England and Austria against Spain; a French Army crosses the Pyrenees (1719); out of state to resist a coalition, Spain humiliates itself, but its lowering profits only in Austria and England.
After the death of the regent, the duke of Bourbon continues to serve the interests of England (1723-1726).
