The Duc de Richelieu was an impressively long-lived Frenchman, his life spanning much of the 18th century and covering the reigns of three monarchs: Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI. This alone would make for a fascinating life, but Richelieu also played a significant role in the French military and the politics of Versailles. He was a rival of Madame de Pompadour, the longtime mistress of Louis XV, and made have positioned Madame du Barry to take her place in the king's affections. Much of this biography focuses on the court politics and gossip, which includes plenty of anecdotes about Richelieu's womanizing. Some of which are cringeworthy, and made me wonder if a more recent biography would approach this aspect of Richelieu differently. An interesting insight into this significant Frenchman, but I can't say I liked everything I learned about him. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
