Princes and Poisoners

"Princes and Poisoners: Studies of the Court of Louis XIV" delves into the intrigues, scandals, and dark secrets that permeated the glittering court of the Sun King. Frantz Funck-Brentano meticulously examines the notorious poison affair that rocked French society, exposing the web of accusations, conspiracies, and hidden motives within the highest echelons of power.

Through detailed accounts and historical analysis, the book paints a vivid portrait of the personalities who shaped the era, from the king himself to the ambitious nobles and shadowy figures who wielded influence behind the scenes. Discover a world of opulence and danger, where fortunes were made and lost, and where poison became a tool of political maneuvering and personal vendettas. This study offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal period in European history.
