Les prêts des navires du roi aux corsaires flamands au début de la guerre de Hollande (1672-1674)
The notion of mandate exceeds the scope, stricto sensu, of the contract defined under title XIII, book III of the civil Code.

As agreed upon since the start of the Dutch war (1672-1678), these further illustrate the role of French privateers as auxiliaries of the naval forces, for the principal - the King - grants his representative - the privateer – with the means to fulfil his mandate: the ship.
