Excerpt from Kings' FavouritesThis limitation as to date has, of course, thinned the crowd of candidates for admission. It has closed the doors on Buckingham and Mazarin, ' and on the mistresses of Charles 11. And George IV Louis XIV. And Louis XV. Still, a goodly choice is left, though many an one whom romance has celebrated proves, at close quarters, to be little more than a ghost, without the substance of history. The Fair Rosamund, for instance, dissolves to a legend of a maze and a poisoned cup, and Odette de Champdivers, who soothed the sixth Charles of France in his madness, is only a beautiful name.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
