520 "The rise to power of Francoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de
Maintenon (1635-1719), a queen in all but name, was
nothing short of extraordinary. Born into poverty and
ignominy, she used her intellect, charisma, and
connections to join the ranks of fashionable society,
eventually establishing herself at the French court as
governess to the legitimized children of Louis XIV. Her
relationship with the Sun King gradually flourished, and
after the death of the queen in 1683 the couple secretly
married. Although their marriage was never made public,
Maintenon came to wield unparalleled influence as Louis
XIV's closest confidante and most trusted political
adviser. The aging king required her daily presence in
governmental meetings and relied on her for advice on
crown appointments, state business, and policy making. Her
modest suite of apartments at Versailles became the heart
of the court and she was pursued by officials and
dignitaries, popes and princes from across Europe, all
anxious to appropriate her influence. She used her
expansive social network to intervene in a range of
political, religious, and royal family affairs, but not
always with the king's knowledge, and her successes were
often outweighed by controversy and failure. In Queen of
Versailles, Mark Bryant explores the remarkable life and
court career of Madame de Maintenon. A study in queenship,
it reveals how the dynamics of power and gender operated
within the realms of early modern high politics, church-
state affairs, and international relations while providing
unique insights into the Sun King and his court."--
