Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Women of the Valois Court Francis I. had exclaimed that a court without women is a year without springtime, and a springtime with out roses. Adieu dark dungeons, long ennuis of a sombre and solitary life! The chatelaines, hitherto relegated to the depths of their provinces, obey the summons of the knightly King; they come to adorn by their presence those fairy-like palaces where life glides by in never-ending festivities. Appearing on the political scene, they play a great rôle there from the very start. The women of the sixteenth century have an exceptional attraction. Christian in certain aspects of their character, Pagan in others, they confound the Gospel with mythology, and issue from the churches to go and consult fortune-tellers and astrologers.
