Focusing on the evolution of French courts and monarchies from the revolutionary period to Charles X's fall, this volume reveals how the revolution paradoxically strengthened the monarchy and created more elitist courts. It draws on extensive research from various European archives, offering fresh insights into the French Revolution and the personalities and policies of key figures like Louis XVI, Napoleon I, Louis XVIII, and Charles X, who presided over notably formal and opulent courts.
