Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of the Valois Court Francis I. had exclaimed that a court without women is a year without springtime, and a springtime with out roses. Adieu dark dungeons, long ennuis of a sombre and solitary life! The chatelaines, hitherto relegated to the depths of their provinces, obey the summons of the knightly King; they come to adorn by their presence those fairy-like palaces where life glides by in never-ending festivities. Appearing on the political scene, they play a great role there from the very start. The women of the sixteenth century have an exceptional attraction. Christian in certain aspects of their character, Pagan in others, they confound the Gospel with mythology, and issue from the churches to go and consult fortune-tellers and astrologers.

This is the only liberty he has taken with the original Memoirs, the translation itself being as near as the present improved state of our language could be brought to approach the unpolished strength and masculine vigour of the French of the age of Henri IV.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dames and Daughters of the French Court Near by under the shade of the beech trees two abbés are seated, the one a thrifty gentleman en gaged with counters and accounts, the other, younger than the first, an easy-going, visionary soul, who leans back in his arm - chair with hands clasped behind his head, dreaming idly. There comes upon these two staid abbés an inter ruption in the pleasing form of a small, debonair, young gentleman, dandling on silken hose and red heeled slippers, a bundle of books beneath his arm. He talks a moment with the abbés, and the one looks up from his accounts and the other stops his dreaming to laugh at some tale which the young man is telling. Quickly, however, the young man turns from the abbés and leaves the shade of the beech trees for the sunshine of the terrace. Mother, mother beautiful, he calls, will you not join us? We are all impatient for the reading and for you. Yes, yes, my little son, in a moment, she answers. Yet she tarries longer than a moment in further converse with the gardener. Madame's little son, who is in truth no less a personage than the Baron de Sevigne, looks from his mother to the abbés, makes a motion of comic resignation, and returns to the shade of the beech trees.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Marguerite De Valois, Queen of France, Wife of Henry IV, of Madame De Pompadour, of the Court of Louis XV, and of Catherine De Medici, Queen of France, Wife of Henri II: With a Special Introduction and Illustrations The Secret Memoirs of Henry of Navarre's famous queen possess a value which the passage of time seems but to heighten. Emanating as they undoubtedly do from one of the chief actors in a momentous crisis in French history, and in the religious history of Europe as well, their importance as first-hand documents can hardly be overestimated. While the interest which attaches to their intimate discussions of people and manners of the day will appeal to the reader at the outset. Marguerite de Valois was the French contemporary of Queen Elizabeth of England, and their careers furnish several curious points of parallel. Marguerite was the daughter of the famous Catherine de Medicis, and was given in marriage by her scheming mother to Henry of Navarre, whose ascendant Bourbon star threatened to eclipse (as afterwards it did) the waning house of Valois. Catherine had four sons, three of whom successively mounted the throne of France, but all were childless. Although the king of the petty state of Navarre was a Protestant, and Catherine was the most fanatical of Catholics, she made this marriage a pretext Tor welding the two houses; but actually it seems to have been a snare to lure him to Paris, for it was at this precise time that the bloody Massacre of St. Bartholomew's day was ordered. Henry himself escaped - it is said, through the protection of Marguerite, his bride, - but his adherents in the Protestant party were slain by the thousands.

Book excerpt: It's the winter of 1564 and the beautiful young Princess Margot is summoned to her mother's household, where her true education begins in earnest. Known across Europe as Madame la Serpente, Queen Catherine is an intimidating and unmoving presence in France, even as her country recovers from the first of many devastating religious wars. Among the crafty nobility of Queen Catherine's royal court, Margot learns the intriguing and unspoken rules she must live by to please her manipulative family. Eager to be an obedient daughter, Margot embraces her role as a pawn to be married off to the most convenient bidder. Despite her loyalty, Margot finds herself charmed by the powerful and charismatic Duc de Guise and falls for him even as she is promised to another. Finally setting aside her happiness for duty, Margot leaves the man she loves for Henri of Navarre, a Huguenot leader and a notorious heretic. Yet Queen Catherine's schemes are endless, and Margot's brother plots vengeance in the streets of Paris. Forced to choose between her family and what's right, Margot at last finds the strength within herself to forge her own destiny. Médicis Daughter is historical fiction at its finest, weaving a unique coming-of-age story and a forbidden love with one of the most dramatic and violent events in French history.
