The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Charles X is a historical book written by Imbert de St-Amand. The book is a detailed account of the life of the Duchess of Berry, a prominent figure in the French royal court during the reign of Charles X. The author delves into the political and social events of the time, including the Bourbon Restoration, the July Revolution, and the fall of the monarchy. The book also explores the personal life of the Duchess, including her marriage, motherhood, and her involvement in various political and social causes. Through vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling, St-Amand provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most influential women in French history.The King, Monsieur, the Duke and Duchess of Berry, all showed equal confidence in Madame de Gontaut, and her nomination as Governess of the Children of France was received with general approval and sympathy. A woman of mind and heart, she performed her task with as much zeal as intelligence, and though strict with her two pupils, she made herself beloved by them. She especially applied herself to guard them against the snares of flattery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
