Description

Explore the unique history of the French royal spare with this scholarly volume from Routledge. For the first time, this work brings together the history of those younger brothers of kings known simply as 'Monsieur' within the monarchy of early modern France. Spanning from the Wars of Religion to the French Revolution, this comparative study examines the lived experiences of four royal princes. While their proximity to the throne granted them vast privileges and high prestige, it also imposed severe limitations on their personal activities and aspirations. Through detailed analysis, the book investigates the frustrations of being a second son in a system designed for a single ruler. This historical study provides deep insight into the social and political dynamics of the French monarchy. It follows the lives of key figures including Francois, duke of Alencon, Gaston, duke of Orleans, and Philippe, duke of Orleans, offering a rare look at the individuals who lived in the shadow of the crown.
