Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Louis XIV and the Regency, Vol. 2 of 3 I Went this summer to Forges, to try, by means of the waters there, to get rid of a tertian fever that quinquina only suspended. While there I heard of a new enterprise on the part of the princes of the blood, who, in the discredit in which the King held them, profited without measure by his desire for the grandeur of the illegitimate children, to acquire new advantages which were suffered because the others shared them. This was the case in question. After the elevation of the mass - at the King´s communion - a folding chair was pushed to the foot of the altar, was covered with a piece of stuff, and then with a large cloth, which hung down before and behind. At the Pater the chaplain rose and whispered in the Kings ear the names of all the dukes who were in the chapel. The King named two, always the oldest, to each of whom the chaplain advanced and made a reverence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
