Analysing the lives and careers of the four younger brothers of Louis XVI, providing a unique study which draws parallels from their position to see what differences arose during the transformation of the French monarchy over the course of the early modern period. Providing students with a fresh approach to the study of early modern France and monarchy more broadly. This book explores the colourful lives of four French princes, from the 1570s to the 1790s, and their efforts of carve out a place for themselves in politics, at court and in society, while always by definition coming in second. Allowing students to see the family, political and social dynamics of the period in a new light. Each Monsieur has a unique place in history-as a suitor of Elizabeth I, as a swashbuckling rebel, as a flamboyant homosexual, and as a quiet voice of caution in an era of revolution. Showing students how members of an influential royal family managed their roles to try and obtain power and position without overstepping the mark.
