The Frown Of Majesty

""The Frown of Majesty: A Romance of the Days of Louis the Fourteenth"" is a historical novel written by Albert Lee and first published in 1902. Set in the 17th century, the book tells the story of a young French nobleman named Philippe de Saint-Aignan, who falls in love with a beautiful and mysterious woman named Gabrielle. However, their romance is complicated by the politics and intrigue of the French court, as well as the disapproval of Philippe's family and the disapproving gaze of the king himself, Louis XIV. As Philippe struggles to navigate these obstacles and win Gabrielle's heart, he must also contend with the machinations of his enemies, who seek to destroy him and his family. Through it all, Lee vividly portrays the opulence and decadence of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV, and the complex web of relationships and rivalries that defined life in that era. ""The Frown of Majesty"" is a compelling tale of love, ambition, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of one of the most fascinating periods 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.
