The Kings' Mistresses

author: Goldsmith, Elizabeth C
Illuminates the lives of the Mancini sisters, Marie and Hortense, who abandoned their arranged marriages and the court of Louis XIV of France to live lives on the run, winning the affections of kings and noblemen, spending their time gambling, disguising themselves as men, and publicly disputing the rights of their husbands over their lives.
