And yet, as Antonia Fraser keenly describes, he was equally legendary in the domestic sphere. Indeed, a panoply of women--his mother, Anne; mistresses such as Louise de la Valli re, Ath na s de Montespan, and the puritanical Madame de Maintenon; and an array of courtesans--moved in and out of the court. The highly visible presence of these women raises many questions about their position in both Louis XIV's life and in France at large. With careful research and vivid, engaging prose, Fraser makes the multifaceted life of one of the most famous European monarchs accessible and vibrantly current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonia Fraser is the author of many internationally bestselling historical works, including \u003ci\u003eLove and Louis XIV\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMarie Antoinette\u003c\/i\u003e, which was made into a film by Sofia Coppola, \u003ci\u003eThe Wives of Henry VIII\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMary Queen of Scots\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFaith and Treason: The Story of the Gunpowder Plot, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Perilous Question: Reform or Revolution?
