The Entire Memoirs of Madame De Montespan is a book that provides an insightful look into the life of one of the most notorious mistresses in French history. Madame de Montespan was the mistress of King Louis XIV and had a significant influence on the French court during her time. In this book, she recounts her life story, from her childhood to her time as a mistress to the king.The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different phase of her life. She talks about her upbringing, her marriage to a nobleman, and her entry into the French court. She details her relationship with the king, providing intimate details about their affair and the children they had together.Madame de Montespan also discusses her rivalry with other courtiers, particularly the queen, and how she navigated the political and social landscape of the French court. She also describes her fall from grace and her eventual retirement to a convent.The book provides a unique perspective on the French court during the reign of Louis XIV and offers insights into the lives of the aristocracy and the role of mistresses in French society. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in French history or the lives of powerful women.Mademoiselle de la Valliere, after having begged me, and begged me often, to come and help her to entertain the King, grew suddenly suspicious and uneasy. She is candour itself, and one day, bursting into tears, she said to me, in that voice peculiar to her alone, For Heaven's sake, my good friend, do not steal away the King's heart from me!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
