Sophie Dawes, Queen of Chantilly is a biography written by Violette Montagu that explores the life of Sophie Dawes, a notorious figure in 19th century France. Born into poverty, Sophie rose to become the mistress of Louis Henri Joseph, the Duke of Bourbon, and later the Countess of Castiglione. She was known for her beauty, wit, and cunning, and used her charm to manipulate the aristocracy and gain wealth and power. The book delves into Sophie's early life, her rise to prominence, and her scandalous relationships with powerful men. It also explores her role in the French Revolution and her connection to the royal family. Montagu uses primary sources and historical records to paint a vivid picture of Sophie's life and the society in which she lived. Overall, Sophie Dawes, Queen of Chantilly is a fascinating look at a woman who defied societal norms and rose to the top of French high society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in French history, women's history, or the lives of the rich and powerful in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
