Zusammenfassung: | "The rise to power of Francoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon (1635-1719), a queen in all but name, was nothing short of extraordinary. Born into poverty and ignominy, she used her intellect, charisma, and connections to join the ranks of fashionable society, eventually establishing herself at the French court as governess to the legitimized children of Louis XIV. Her relationship with the Sun King gradually flourished, and after the death of the queen in 1683 the couple secretly married. Although their marriage was never made public, Maintenon came to wield unparalleled influence as Louis XIV's closest confidante and most trusted political adviser. The aging king required her daily presence in governmental meetings and relied on her for advice on crown appointments, state business, and policy making. Her modest suite of apartments at Versailles became the heart of the court and she was pursued by officials and dignitaries, popes and princes from across Europe, all anxious to appropriate her influence. She used her expansive social network to intervene in a range of political, religious, and royal family affairs, but not always with the king's knowledge, and her successes were often outweighed by controversy and failure. In Queen of Versailles, Mark Bryant explores the remarkable life and court career of Madame de Maintenon. A study in queenship, it reveals how the dynamics of power and gender operated within the realms of early modern high politics, church-state affairs, and international relations while providing unique insights into the Sun King and his court."-- |

Born into poverty and ignominy, she used her intellect, charisma, and connections to join the ranks of fashionable society, eventually establishing herself at the French court as governess to the legitimized children of Louis XIV. Her relationship with the Sun King gradually flourished, and after the death of the queen in 1683 the couple secretly married. Although their marriage was never made public, Maintenon came to wield unparalleled influence as Louis XIV's closest confidante and most trusted political adviser. The aging king required her daily presence in governmental meetings and relied on her for advice on crown appointments, state business, and policy making. Her modest suite of apartments at Versailles became the heart of the court and she was pursued by officials and dignitaries, popes and princes from across Europe, all anxious to appropriate her influence. She used her expansive social network to intervene in a range of political, religious, and royal family affairs, but not always with the king's knowledge, and her successes were often outweighed by controversy and failure. In Queen of Versailles, Mark Bryant explores the remarkable life and court career of Madame de Maintenon. A study in queenship, it reveals how the dynamics of power and gender operated within the realms of early modern high politics, church-state affairs, and international relations while providing unique insights into the Sun King and his court."-- Maintenon Madame de 1635-1719 (DE-588)118640798 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1680-1719 gnd rswk-swf König (DE-588)4031516-2 gnd rswk-swf Hof (DE-588)4025453-7 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf Maintenon / Madame de / 1635-1719 Louis / XIV / King of France / 1638-1715 / Relations with women Favorites, Royal / France / Biography Queens / France / Biography France / Kings and rulers / Paramours / Biography France / Court and courtiers / History France / History / Louis XIV, 1643-1715 Louis / XIV / King of France / 1638-1715 Courts and courtiers Favorites, Royal Kings and rulers / Paramours Queens Relations with women France 1643-1715 Biographies History (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Maintenon Madame de 1635-1719 (DE-588)118640798 p DE-604 Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g König (DE-588)4031516-2 s Hof (DE-588)4025453-7 s Geschichte 1680-1719 z Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-0-2280-0431-8 (DE-604)BV047241024 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-0-2280-0432-5 (DE-604)BV047241024 Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032386873&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032386873&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
