At all times, marriages of royalty have attracted everyone's attention. But most often, the splendor of magnificent royal weddings hid tears, tragedies, secrets, because the monarchs did not marry for love - they were driven by state expediency and sober calculation. Young princess-brides were just a card in the political combinations of their royal fathers. What were the wedding nights of the crowned spouses, who often saw each other only on the eve of the wedding? Full of love and passion, like Louis IX and Margaret of Provence, or disgusting, like Marie Louise of Orleans? Juliette Benzoii lifts the veil of secrets of the first wedding night of monarchs, like the canopy of a royal bed.... Women caught in the fever of love... Women who are not used to and do not want to restrain their feelings... Such are the beautiful Gabrielle d'Estrée, the mistress of the King of France, and Hortense Mancini - the niece of Cardinal Mazarin, who won the heart of the King of England, and the English adventuress “divine lady” Hamilton and many, many others... An indomitable passion that knows no moral barriers is the feature that unites the heroines of this amazing story... The author reveals a world of complex relationships not just between between a man and a woman, and between a king and a queen.
