This fascinating biography tells the story of Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon, who rose from humble origins to become one of the most powerful and influential women in 17th century France. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, de Maintenon managed to gain the favor of King Louis XIV and became his trusted confidante and advisor. Author Paul de Noailles draws extensively on contemporary accounts and de Maintenon's own writings to paint a vivid portrait of this remarkable woman and the world in which she lived.
