About This Book

The book recounts the turbulent court career of a young queen whose intimate partnership with an influential favorite produces bold reforms, bitter noble resistance, and intense public unrest. It traces the favorite's rapid accumulation of authority and the conspiracies and masked intrigues that lead to the queen's arrest, formal divorce, and the trials and executions of her associates. It follows her confinement and enforced relocation to a distant residence, the thwarted restoration efforts on her behalf, and her early death. The narrative closes by examining the political reprisals, funerary memory, and documentary evidence that surround these events.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Archaic, inconsistent and unusual spellings from the original book have been preserved in this ebook. Obvious typos have been fixed. Changes are indicated below and in the text with a mouse-over like this. The spelling of many family names in this book varies from the spelling used in historical documents today. The cover was developed at pgdp.net and is in the public domain.

In the original book, “Ibid.” was used in the footnotes only when the same source was cited in adjacent footnotes on the same page. In this ebook, the use of “Ibid.” has been changed to appearing only when adjacent footnotes on the same paragraph cite the same source. This change is not noted in the details below.

The index in this volume covers the content in both volumes of this work. Page numbers in the index which are located in the second volume have been linked to their corresponding pages, however the first volume is in a separate file and pages from the first volume have not been linked.
