Adding pre-revolutionary France as being plutocracy per William Doyle Oxford History book edit

Literally just a line, based on Doyle's prose: "For in reality France under Louis XVI was governed not by the nobility, but by a plutocracy in which the majority of nobles had no share.

Chapter 1, France Under Louis XVI, on Google Play Books, page 27-29/468: https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=eGXrAwAAQBAJ&pg=GBS.PA26.w.1.1.269_233 Andrew DePietro 03:51, 5 March 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adepietro1 (talk • contribs)
