The Memoirs of Madame De Montespan, V7 is a book written by Madame La Marquise De Montespan, a French noblewoman who was the mistress of King Louis XIV of France. The book is a personal account of her life, detailing her rise to power as the king's favorite and her eventual fall from grace. In this volume, Madame De Montespan recounts her experiences during the latter part of her life, including her relationship with the king and the birth of their children. She also discusses her involvement in the infamous Affair of the Poisons, a scandal involving the use of poison to commit murder and other crimes in the court of Louis XIV. Throughout the book, Madame De Montespan provides insight into the political and social climate of 17th-century France, as well as the inner workings of the royal court. Her memoirs offer a unique perspective on the life of a powerful woman in a male-dominated society, and provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of French aristocracy during the reign of Louis XIV.Pere de Latour, going further, wished to impose hard, not to say murderous, penances on me; I begged him to keep within bounds, and not to make me impatient. This Oratorian and his admirers have stated that I wore a hair shirt and shroud. Pious slanders, every word of them! I give many pensions and alms, that is to say, I do good to several families; the good that I bestow about me will be more agreeable to God than any harm I could do myself, and that I maintain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
