Product Information
Kings throughout medieval and early modern Europe had extraconjugal sexual partners. Only in France, however, did the royal mistress become a quasi-institutionalized political position. This study explores the emergence and development of the position of French royal mistress through detailed portraits of nine of its most significant incumbents: Agnès Sorel, Anne de Pisseleu d'Heilly, Diane de Poitiers, Gabrielle d'Estrées, Françoise Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, Françoise Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Françoise d'Aubigné, Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, and Jeanne Bécu. Beginning in the fifteenth century, key structures converged to create a space at court for the royal mistress. The first was an idea of gender already in place: that while women were legally inferior to men, they were men's equals in competence. Because of their legal subordinacy, queens were considered to be the safest regents for their husbands, and, subsequently, the royal mistress was the surest counterpoint to the royal favorite. Second, the Renaissance was a period during which people began to experience space as theatrical. This shift to a theatrical world opened up new ways of imagining political guile, which came to be positively associated with the royal mistress. Still, the role had to be activated by an intelligent, charismatic woman associated with a king who sought women as advisors. The fascinating particulars of each case are covered in the chapters of this book. Thoroughly researched and compellingly narrated, this important study explains why the tradition of a politically powerful royal mistress materialized at the French court, but nowhere else in Europe. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the French monarchy, women and royalty, and gender studies.

Reviews
"This is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the French monarchy and the changing roles and relationships of women at the royal court." --Kathryn Norberg, Renaissance Quarterly, "Based on an extensive bibliography, the authors assiduously synthesize and reevaluate the research on these royal mistresses to bring to light the ways in which they helped shape history." --Linda Marie Rouillard Journal of Modern History, "Intensively researched and engagingly written, this innovative work traces the history of the royal mistress in France, demonstrating their impressive social, political, and cultural influence. The book examines the development of this unique position, which was a counterpart (and rival) to that of the queen-ultimately arguing that Marie Antoinette fell by trying to play the traditional roles of both queen and mistress, rocking the foundations of French queenship and the court itself." -Elena Woodacre, author of The Queens Regnant of Navarre: Succession, Politics and Partnership, 1274 1512, "Based on an extensive bibliography, the authors assiduously synthesize and reevaluate the research on these royal mistresses to bring to light the ways in which they helped shape history." --Linda Marie Rouillard, Journal of Modern History, "At last, a scholarly academic book on French royal mistresses, extensive in its coverage from Agnès Sorel to Du Barry, and one that can be used with confidence in teaching this subject in courses on women in power and the development of courtly politics in the early modern period. A comparative analytical discussion of the uses of 'soft power' by nonroyal women at the French court is long overdue." --Jonathan Spangler, author of The Society of Princes: The Lorraine-Guise and the Conservation of Power and Wealth in Seventeenth-Century France, "Intensively researched and engagingly written, this innovative work traces the history of the royal mistress in France, demonstrating her impressive social, political, and cultural influence. The book examines the development of this unique position, which was a counterpart (and rival) to that of the queen--ultimately arguing that Marie Antoinette fell by trying to play the traditional roles of both queen and mistress, rocking the foundations of French queenship and the court itself." --Elena Woodacre, author of The Queens Regnant of Navarre: Succession, Politics and Partnership, 1274 1512, "Intensively researched and engagingly written, this innovative work traces the history of the royal mistress in France, demonstrating her impressive social, political, and cultural influence.

They move beyond the salacious to an intellectual understanding of the complementarity of gendered premodern political power." -Zita Rohr, author of Yolande of Aragon (1381-1442) Family and Power: The Reverse of the Tapestry, "This is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the French monarchy and the changing roles and relationships of women at the royal court." --Kathryn Norberg Renaissance Quarterly, "The extraordinary position of the 'official' mistress ( maîtresse en titre ) of reigning kings of France-from Agnes Sorel in the fifteenth century to Mesdames de Pompadour and du Barry in the eighteenth-is Christine and Tracy Adams's focus in this scholarly and illuminating study. They do full justice to the post's colorful incumbents, who casually broke their age's gender conventions, but also brilliantly highlight the persistent and multifaceted ways-sexual partner, political adviser, patronage hub, diplomatic back-channel, cultural patron, ostentatious fashion adornment-in which these women served the monarchy." -Colin Jones, author of Madame De Pompadour: Images of a Mistress, "Intensively researched and engagingly written, this innovative work traces the history of the royal mistress in France, demonstrating their impressive social, political, and cultural influence. The book examines the development of this unique position, which was a counterpart (and rival) to that of the queen--ultimately arguing that Marie Antoinette fell by trying to play the traditional roles of both queen and mistress, rocking the foundations of French queenship and the court itself." --Elena Woodacre, author of The Queens Regnant of Navarre: succession, politics and partnership, 1274 1512, "Intensively researched and engagingly written, this innovative work traces the history of the royal mistress in France, demonstrating their impressive social, political, and cultural influence.

Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find much to explore here." --Bridgette Sheridan, French History, "Provides us with a new way of understanding the role of the royal mistress as integral to the workings of the French Crown.
