Louis de Rouvroy Duke of Saint Simon
About this listen
Louis de Rouvroy, Duke of Saint-Simon (1675-1755) provides the world with unparalleled insight both into the rule of France's Sun King, Louis XIV, and the tantalizing intrigues of the monarch's inner circle. Saint-Simon notes in his Memoirs that it was his love of reading - and of history in particular - that sparked his interest in recording his own observations. The length and breadth of his notes were undoubtedly made the more possible because he kept his writings secret.
Volume II relates the King's ongoing desire to raise the station of his illegitimate children, his determination to show the world the strength of France's army, and the usual Court intrigues.
