This book examines public discussions around France's four most
prominent royal women during the first and second Restoration and
July Monarchy: the duchesse d'Angouleme, the duchesse de Berry,
Queen of the French Marie-Amelie, and Adelaide d'Orleans. These
were the most powerful women of the last decades of the French
monarchy, but the new roles women were assigned in
post-revolutionary France did not permit them to openly exercise
political influence. This book explores continuities and variations
in narratives of royal legitimacy, and how historians, authors, and
politicians used national history - particularly medieval and early
modern history - to either legitimize or undermine the French
monarchy, and to define women's social and political roles.
