Summary:
From the critically acclaimed bestselling biographer of Marie Antoinette. The self-proclaimed Sun King, Louis XIV ruled over the most glorious and extravagant court in seventeenth-century Europe. Now, Antonia Fraser goes behind the well-known tales of Louis's accomplishments and follies, exploring in riveting detail his intimate relationships with women. With consummate skill, Antonia Fraser weaves insights into the nature of women's religious lives--as well as such practical matters such as contraception--into her magnificent, sweeping portrait of the king, his court, and his ladies.
