The favorite "enjoys the favor" of a high-ranking individual. She is not merely a mistress; she possesses resources and wields political, economic, and artistic influence. Nothing is done or undone without her.
The sixteen muses chosen by Jean des Cars all played a decisive role and shook world history: Agnès Sorel, Diane de Poitiers, Gabrielle d'Estrées, Louise de La Vallière, the Marquise de Montespan, Madame de Maintenon, the Nesle sisters, the Marquise de Pompadour, Madame du Barry, Zoé du Cayla, Lola Montez, Miss Howard, Katia Dolgorouki, Blanche Delacroix, Magda Lupescu, and Wallis Simpson.
A gallant procession of women to whom we owe much. For better or for worse.
"Colorful portraits, often savory and captivating. A sparkling saga of erudition." Jean-Christophe Buisson – Le Figaro Magazine
