# The Hôtel des Invalides is founded in 1670 as a dated royal hospital-residence for wounded soldiers

Date: 1670

## The fact

In 1670 Louis XIV founded the Hôtel des Invalides as a hospital-residence for wounded soldiers. The instrument is that dated foundation, not a later emperor's tomb. Louis XIV of France's documented role is: He ordered the foundation. Louvois and architects implemented. Veterans lived there. War that produced the wounded remains a harm row, not mixed as a rebate here.

## Context

Louvois shares the war-and-works file. Sharing unnamed veterans is required. Dutch War harm remains a separate row. The setting of The Hôtel des Invalides is founded in 1670 as a dated royal hospital-residence for wounded soldiers is the public file around 1670-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver health-system-capacity is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
