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.
