This study of a court in exile covers all aspects of the grandeur of court life. When King James II was deposed during the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89, he came with his family to France, where his cousin, Louis XIV allowed him to establish a large court-in-exile in the Château of Saint-Germain near Versailles. The book describes the magnificent setting of the court, the way it was organized, and how the exiled courtiers lived. Particular attention is given to the close relationships between the British and French royal families. | A Court in Exile by Edward Corp, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
