Summary "Curiosités historiques sur Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Mme de Maintenon, Mme de Pompadour, Mme du Barry, etc." by J. A. Le Roi is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into various lesser-known aspects of the lives and reigns of French monarchs and their infamous favorites. It likely aims to provide readers with intriguing insights into the period's political intrigues and the everyday life within the opulence of the Palace of Versailles. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by discussing the significance of the Château de Versailles, alongside exploring several historical curiosities associated with its construction and the reigns of its royal residents. J. A. Le Roi posits questions regarding the dating of specific events, the implications of notable incidents like the "journée des Dupes," and the roles of influential figures such as Louis XIII, Louis XIV, and various royal favorites. Through meticulous research, he aims to clarify misconceptions and illuminate hidden facts about historical figures and pivotal moments in French history, making the reader think about the layers of complexity behind the scenes of the French monarchy.
