Description
A well-written account of the life of La Grande Mademoiselle, the cousin of Louis XIV. She almost became Queen of England and was a vibrant, almost Amazonian, figure at the court of 'The Sun King'. At the time the book was written her secret marriage to M. de Lauzun was only surmised but certainly many French sources (e.g. Larousse) take it as a fact. It would certainly explain some of her actions during her latter years. A 'must' for the student of French history of the period - and a good read for non-academics as well.
