Pardoe's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book an essential read for anyone interested in the history of France or the lives of powerful women throughout history.The state of France at the commencement of the year 1613 was precarious in the extreme. As yet no intestine war had broken out, but there existed a sullen undercurrent of discontent and disaffection which threatened, like the sound of distant thunder, to herald an approaching storm. The Court was, as we have shown, the focus of anarchy and confusion; the power and resources of the great nobles had steadily increased since the death of Henri IV, and had they only been united among themselves, the authority of Marie de Medicis must have been set at nought, and the throne of the boy-King have tottered to its base.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
