''The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Charles X'' is a historical book written by Imbert de St-Amand. The book explores the life of the Duchess of Berry, Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Sicile, and her role in the court of King Charles X of France during the early 19th century. The author delves into the political and social dynamics of the French court during this time, including the struggles for power and influence among the courtiers. St-Amand provides a detailed account of the life of the Duchess of Berry, from her childhood to her marriage to Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, and her eventual role as a mother and political figure. The book also examines the political upheavals that occurred during the reign of Charles X, including the July Revolution of 1830, which ultimately led to the downfall of the Bourbon monarchy. With rich detail and vivid storytelling, ''The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Charles X'' offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of French royalty during a tumultuous period in history.The King, Monsieur, the Duke and Duchess of Berry, all showed equal confidence in Madame de Gontaut, and her nomination as Governess of the Children of France was received with general approval and sympathy. A woman of mind and heart, she performed her task with as much zeal as intelligence, and though strict with her two pupils, she made herself beloved by them. She especially applied herself to guard them against the snares of flattery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
