Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives of women who wielded considerable influence during the reign of Louis XIV, a time when the Salic Law barred women from reigning in France. The author challenges the notion that these women were merely the King's fleeting mistresses, demonstrating their active role in shaping the destinies of France. Despite Louis XIV's reputation as a great monarch, the author presents a nuanced view of his character, highlighting his reliance on Cardinal Richelieu and his often poor health, which may have limited his exercise of power. The book explores the complex relationships between the King and his mistresses, including La ValliĆ re, Montespan, and Maintenon, and the impact they had on the political landscape of the time. Through meticulous research, the author reveals the agency and influence of these women, shedding light on an underappreciated aspect of French history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334285745_0
