The Memoirs Of Marguerite De Valois, V3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419172403)

The Memoirs of Marguerite De Valois, V3 is a book written by Marguerite de Valois, a French princess who lived during the 16th century. The book is the third volume of her memoirs and provides a detailed account of her life as a member of the royal family during a time of great political and religious upheaval in France. Marguerite de Valois was the daughter of King Henry II and Catherine de' Medici, and she was married off to King Henry IV in a political alliance that was meant to bring peace to the country. However, the marriage was tumultuous, and Marguerite's memoirs provide a candid and often shocking account of her experiences. The book covers a wide range of topics, including court life, politics, religion, and the various scandals and intrigues that took place during Marguerite's lifetime. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in French history, the royal family, or the Renaissance era.(The additional work here is the history of the House of Valois from its earliest days.)This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
