A Fair Conspirator: Marie De Rohan, Duchesse De Chevreuse is a biography written by H. Noel Williams that tells the story of Marie de Rohan, a French noblewoman who played a significant role in the political and social events of 17th century France. The book explores her life, from her early years as a member of the powerful Rohan family, to her marriage to the Duke of Chevreuse, and her involvement in various political intrigues and conspiracies. Marie was known for her beauty, wit, and charm, which she used to her advantage in the court of King Louis XIII. She was also a skilled diplomat and strategist, and played a key role in the plots against Cardinal Richelieu, the powerful minister who controlled the French government. The book provides a detailed account of Marie's life, including her relationships with other important figures of the time, such as Queen Anne of Austria and the Duke of Buckingham. It also delves into the social and cultural context of 17th century France, providing readers with a vivid picture of the era. Overall, A Fair Conspirator is a fascinating and engaging biography that sheds light on the life of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in shaping the history of France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
