It explores the court life of Philip and his contemporaries, including their lavish lifestyles, political intrigues, and romantic liaisons. The book also provides insight into the wider political and social context of the time, including the wars and conflicts that shaped the European landscape.Stokes draws on a range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official documents, to provide a rich and detailed account of Philip's life and the world in which he lived. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the history of France and Europe during this period.Overall, A Prince of Pleasure: Philip of France and His Court, 1640-1701 is a fascinating and informative book that sheds light on a little-known figure in French history and provides a rich and detailed portrait of court life in seventeenth-century France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
