Abstract

"This prize-winning historical novel, set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, centers on the search by conflicting parties for a mottled-skinned boy rumored to be the son of Marie-Antoinette and a man of color. Of mixed-race parentage himself, Daniel Picouly offers a prescient re-creation of postcolonial France in light of its immigrant population"--

Abstract

This study explores pre- and extra-marital relationships among the gentry and nobility of the north of England from 1450 to 1640: the keeping of mistresses, the taking of lovers, the birth of illegitimate children and the fate of those children. It challenges assumptions about the extent to which such activities declined in the period, and hence about the impact of Protestantism and other changes to the culture of the elite. A major contribution to the literature on marriage and sexual relationships, family, kinship and gender, it is aimed at an academic readership in the fields of social and political history.

Abstract

Henri d’Angoulême (1551-1586), fils naturel du roi de France Henri II, a longtemps été oublié par les historiens. Pourtant, il fut le premier bâtard royal français à occuper des charges importantes : abbé de la Chaise-Dieu, grand prieur dans l’Ordre de Malte, puis général des galères et gouverneur de Provence. Erudit, mécène et poète, il fut une figure importante de la République des lettres, mais eut également une réputation d’homme violent et cruel. Grâce à une documentation importante et variée, ce livre retrace l’ascension d’un individu ambitieux qui apprit à surmonter le stigmate symbolique que constituait son illégitimité. En adoptant le point de vue de la monarchie française, des cercles humanistes, des dirigeants de l’Ordre de Malte, ou encore des acteurs politiques provençaux, ce travail étudie aussi la construction collective d’une identité sociale originale, celle de bâtard royal, qui entrecroisait qualité princière et marginalité.
