The Duke of Saint-Simon (1675-1755) was a self-obsessed courtier and chronicler of court life under Louis XIV. Drawing heavily on his memoirs, historian Ladurie offers a wonderful portrait of life with Louis, focusing on issues of hierarchy and rank in this tightly controlled universe. Illustrations.
This work presents the memoirs of Louis de Rouvroy, Duke of Saint-Simon, who was a noble at the court of Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV. Saint-Simon generally disliked how King Louis reigned and disapproved of his bastard children because they ceremonially took precedence over the French nobility, such as himself. Thus, this work offers a differing viewpoint from many histories of the period and is valuable as such.
