Description
This three-volume work by Julia Pardoe, the author of other books on French royalty, was originally published in 1852.
In astonishing detail the books describe the colourful and controversial life of Marie de Medicis, who in 1600 married Henry IV of France after his marriage to Marguerite de Valois had been annulled to make way for this dynastic alliance.
The consort's life both before and after her marriage was one of flamboyant living and political intrigue.
The work is a complex biography, full of information on every detail of a remarkable life at the centre of European politics.
Each volume is illustrated and annotated with references to original documents.
This last volume describes events including Louis' assertion of royal authority, the rise to power and influence of Cardinal Richelieu, and finally Marie's death in 1642.
