The nobility of the sword wielded a great deal of influence?

edit

I've just deleted the sentence: "Specifically during the French Revolution, the nobility of the sword wielded a great deal of influence, because in troubled times military strength was at a premium" It was oddly placed, unreferenced - and seems to be contradicted by the rest of the section. Thoughts? - Snori (talk) 01:38, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
