Download or read book Louis XIV written by Josephine Wilkinson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stylish and incisive narrative presents readers with a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating kings in European history. Louis XIV’s story has all the ingredients of a Dumas classic: legendary beginnings, beguiling women, court intrigue, a mysterious prisoner in an iron mask, lavish court entertainments, the scandal of a mistress who was immersed in the dark arts, and a central character who is handsome and romantic, but with a frighteningly dark side to his character.Louis believed himself to be semi-divine. His self-identification as the Sun King, which was reflected in iconography by the sun god, Apollo, influenced every aspect of Louis’s life: his political philosophy, his wars, and his relationships with courtiers and subjects.As a military strategist, Louis’s capacity was ambiguous, but he was an astute politician who led his country to the heights of sophistication and power—and then had the misfortune to live long enough to see it all crumble away. As the sun began to set upon this most glorious of reigns, it brought a gathering darkness filled with the anguish of dead heirs, threatened borders, and a populace that was dangerously dependent upon—but greatly distanced from—its king.

Download or read book A Fanfare for the Sun King written by Pamela Cowen and published by Third Millennium Information Ltd. This book was released on 2003 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume, published in conjunction with a landmark exhibition at The Fan Museum, Greenwich, gathers together a marvellous group of over 40 fans and fan leaves dating from the reign of Louis XIV.In this fascinating book, daily life and times at the court of the 'Sun King', including well-known figures such as Madames de Montespan and Maintenon, as well as other royal and court figures, visiting dignitaries and national events, are discussed in considerable detail. Many scenes are set in the grounds of Versailles and these are identified by the author, whose impeccable research provides the gossip 'straight from the horse's mouth'. All this is presented in the vehicle of the folding fan, which rose to prominence under Louis XIV. He inspired subject matter for painted fan leaves, and moreover imposed strict etiquette at court involving the use (and non-use) of fans.

Book Synopsis Monsieur. Second Sons in the Monarchy of France, 1550–1800 by : Jonathan Spangler
Download or read book Monsieur. Second Sons in the Monarchy of France, 1550–1800 written by Jonathan Spangler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, this volume brings together the history of the royal spare in the monarchy of early modern France, those younger brothers of kings known simply as ‘Monsieur’. Ranging from the Wars of Religion to the French Revolution, this comparative study examines the frustrations of four royal princes whose proximity to their older brothers gave them vast privileges and great prestige, but also placed severe limitations on their activities and aspirations. Each chapter analyses a different aspect of the lives of François, duke of Alençon, Gaston, duke of Orléans, Philippe, duke of Orléans and Louis-Stanislas, count of Provence, starting with their birth and education, their marriages and political careers, and their search for alternative expressions of power through the patronage of the arts, architecture and learning. By comparing these four lives, a powerful image emerges of a key development in the institution of modern monarchy: the transformation of the rebellious, politically ambitious prince into the loyal defender – even in disagreement – of the Crown and of the older brother who wore it. This volume is the perfect resource for all students and scholars interested in the history of France, monarchy, early modern state building and court studies.
Book Synopsis The Society of Princes by : Jonathan Spangler
Download or read book The Society of Princes written by Jonathan Spangler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The princes étrangers, or the foreign princes, were an influential group of courtiers in early modern France, who maintained their unofficial status as 'foreigners' due to membership in sovereign ruling families. Arguably the most influential of these were the princes of Lorraine, a sovereign state on France's eastern border. During the sixteenth century the Lorraine-Guise dominated the culture and politics of France, gaining a reputation as a powerful, manipulative family at the head of the Catholic League in the Wars of Religion and with close relationships with successive Valois monarchs and Catherine de Medici. After the traumas of 1588, however, although they faded from the narrative history of France, they nevertheless remained at the pinnacle of political culture until the end of the eighteenth century. This book examines the lesser-known period for the Guise at the later stages of the ancien régime, focusing on the recovery of lost fortunes, prestige, favour and influence that began towards the end of the reign of Louis XIII and continued through that of Louis XIV. Central to the work is the question of what it meant to be a member of a family of princely rank whose dynastic links outside the state guaranteed privileges and favours at the highest level. Jonathan Spangler investigates how an aristocratic family operated within that political culture, including facets of patronage (political, ecclesiastical, military, and the arts) and the meaning of dynasticism itself (marriages, testaments, women's roles, multiplicity of loyalties). The result is a thorough examination of the nature of crown-noble relations in the era of absolutism as seen through the example of the Lorraine-Guise. It sheds light on how the family which had so threatened the equilibrium of the late Valois monarchy became one of the strongest pillars supporting the regime of the later Bourbons.

Book Synopsis The Key to Power? by : Dries Raeymaekers
Download or read book The Key to Power? written by Dries Raeymaekers and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proximity to the monarch was a vital asset in the struggle for power and influence in medieval and early modern courts. The concept of ‘access to the ruler’ has therefore grown into a dominant theme in scholarship on pre-modern dynasties. Still, many questions remain concerning the mechanisms of access and their impact on politics. Bringing together new research on European and Asian cases, the ten chapters in this volume focus on the ways in which ‘access’ was articulated, regulated, negotiated, and performed. By taking into account the full complexity of hierarchies, ceremonial rites, spaces and artefacts that characterized the dynastic court, The Key to Power? forces us to rethink power relations in the late medieval and early modern world. Contributors are: Christina Antenhofer, Ronald G. Asch, Florence Berland, Mark Hengerer, Neil Murphy, Fabian Persson, Jonathan Spangler, Michael Talbot, Steven Thiry, and Audrey Truschke.

Book excerpt: Cette nouvelle collection permettra aux enfants du primaire et aux collégiens de côtoyer princes et princesses, rois et reines, ou personnages célèbres, au temps où ils étaient encore bien petits pour faire de la politique ou prendre des décisions importantes ! Mais que c'est agréable, sous la plume d'une romancière de talent, de découvrir l'enfance des " grands de ce monde ". Avec ce premier titre, c'est l'enfance de Louis-Dieudonné, le futur Louis XIV, le Roi-Soleil, que l'auteur nous raconte : ni enfant gâté, ni prince de conte de fée, vif et spontané, tantôt jouant aux châteaux de sable, tantôt peinant sur sa version latine, tantôt se préparant à son métier de roi, qu'il saura exercer avec beaucoup d'humanité.

Book Synopsis Louis XIV by : Geoffrey R R Treasure
Download or read book Louis XIV written by Geoffrey R R Treasure and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis IV represents the apogee of French royal power and the Ancien Regime. Having restored the nation's finances and rebuilt the army, he embarked on a series of wars of conquest which made France universally feared and respected as the central power of continental Europe. In the age of Moliere, Corneille, Racine et al, French culture blossomed at the court of Versailles. The counterpoint to these achievements was the emasculation of the political and legal institutions that might have limited the exercise of the royal will. In this new history, Geoffrey Treasure explores a unique combination of a personal philosophy, moulded by absolutist thinking and propaganda, and by Marzarin's deliberate training. He examines the influences and traits which permitted the growth of this particular exercise of power and its descent into an absolutism that ultimately set France on the road to 1789.
