This work delves into the court life of Lorraine during the reign of Duke Léopold and the complexities of his relationships, particularly focusing on the prominent figures such as the Marquise de Boufflers and Madame du Châtelet. The narrative promises an engaging exploration of the social customs, political intrigues, and romantic entanglements of the court in this vibrant era. The opening of the book sets the stage by depicting the joyous atmosphere of Lunéville in 1698 as Léopold returns to reclaim his ancestral duchy. Celebrations abound, highlighting the hope for a brighter future after decades of oppression and woe. Maugras introduces key characters, particularly Léopold, whose youthful charm endears him to the populace, and foreshadows his tumultuous relationships, notably with Madame de Craon, who becomes a significant influence in his life. This segment captures the essence of the court's dynamics and the shifting fortunes of both the land and its leaders, setting a rich context for the developments to come.
