Publisher Description
Hundreds of fascinating events crowd the pages of this, the second volume, peppered throughout by brilliant character sketches: the author trying to persuade his friend, the Duc d’Orleans, to abandon his mistress to regain the King’s favour, the King’s bastards fighting over precedence at court, wars with England; the plots of the Jesuits and finally the death of King Louis XIV and his extraordinary post-mortem examination. We read breathless – we are eavesdropping at the heart of Europe’s grandest royal court.
