Publisher's Synopsis
A Lily Of Old France is a historical biography written by Eric Rede Buckley, chronicling the life of Marie Leckzinska, who was the Queen of France during the reign of Louis XV. The book explores her upbringing as a Polish princess and her marriage to Louis XV, which was arranged for political reasons. It delves into her struggles to adapt to the French court, her relationship with her husband, and her role as a mother to the future King Louis XVI. The book also covers the political and social climate of France during the 18th century, including the Seven Years' War and the tensions between the French and English monarchies. Through detailed research and engaging storytelling, Buckley provides a fascinating insight into the life of a lesser-known queen in French history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
