This book was released on 1994 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Divorce Satyrique is an anonymous biographical sketch of Marguerite de Valois. Although a proclaimed satire, the document was accepted as historical fact and it single-handedly spawned the myth of the Reine Margot. Despite her political and historical insignificance, this account immortalized Marguerite de Valois as an exceptionally frivolous and hedonistic woman. From manuscript sources, Robert J. Sealy. S.J. proves that a critical incident in the Divorce is purely fictional. By distilling fiction from fact, the author lays the groundwork for future analysis of the text and of its historical impact.

Download or read book Queen Margot A Play in Five Acts written by Alexandre Dumas and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1847, while Dumas was at the height of his powers, this play recounts the events leading up to the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre of the French Huguenots--and the subsequent death of King Charles IX. The playwright focuses on the people inadvertently caught up in the slaughter--which, once started, cannot be repressed. By following the fate of two nobles, the Catholic Count Coconnas and the Huguenot Count de la Mole, and linking their stories to Queen Marguerite (called Margot), wife in name only to the Huguenot King of Navarre (the future King Henry IV of France), Dumas reveals the terror and duplicity that the massacre incurred even at the highest levels of society--including the royal family. Despite its length, the story moves quickly and with great force. One of Dumas's best historical narratives!

Download or read book Queen Margot and the End of the Valois 1553 1615 written by Charles Merki and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marguerite de Valois was the last of her line. Margot, used as a political weapon during her youth, by her own family, was turned into another one following her death. Pamphleteers and propagandists for the new Bourbon dynasty of Margot's husband, King Henri IV of Navarre, and then of France in 1589, sought to portray Queen Marguerite as a loose woman, a sexual libertine, to discredit the Valois line. This type of attack has always been used against women of political power, and of course it became the stuff of legend and common stereotype until about the time of Merki's volume. This author traces Margot as a political role player amidst a violent era and its clannish peculiarities, especially her entanglement with the fanatical religious element, always in the picture.Merki organized the story into three sections: 1.) era of the Valois in the 16th century: Catherine de Medici; Court life, and morals; youth of Marguerite; Protestants; negotiations for marriage; union with Henri de Navarre; marriage of Marguerite; St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre; Conspiracy of the Politiques; death of Charles IX; troubled relations with Henri III; 2.) Margot as Queen of Navarre: quarrels of the mignons; escape of the Duke of Anjou; the Flanders Expedition; War of the Lovers; rebellious Margot; she declares for League; refuge in Auvergne; prisoner of the Château d'Usson; 3.) final years: accession of Henri IV; negotiation with Margot and Divorce of 1599; Conspiracy of Auvergne; Margot leaves Usson for Paris; Margot builds the Hôtel des Augustins; Regency of Marie de Medici.This is the first and only translation of Merki into English. Every effort has been made to convey the spirit of the writing style of Merki while making it accessible to a modern English speaking audience. F.H. Wallis Translation continues to seek out and publish older works of the highest scholarship on the history of France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Margot, Vol. 1 The first instalment of la Reine Margot duly appeared on Christmas Day, and the bored readers of The Peasants, which had stopped a few days before, seized the paper with joy and renewed their subscriptions. Emile de Girardin was saved, but Balzac was humiliated, and a crowd of little men immediately attacked him, ridiculing The Peasants and the fifty characters already introduced. Dumas, who possessed a most generous heart, must have been greatly disturbed by all this, but he had sold the serial rights and was powerless to interfere. Balzac was no admirer of Dumas' work, and at times spoke of it contemptuously, the fact being that, in Balzac's eyes, its enormous popularity was its defect. One day, the two authors having met at an evening party given by Madame de Girardin, Balzac, when leaving, said as he passed Dumas, When I can do nothing else, I shall write some plays. Begin at once then, promptly said the popular dramatist, and no reply occurring to Balzac, he straightway departed. After Balzac's death Dumas never wrote of him but in the highest terms, though he rather naively confessed that he was unable to appreciate all the Comedie Humaine, as Balzac called his complete works.
