The author, who was a favorite of the King, shares her own story of how she rose to power, what she thought of other important people in the court, and all the political games that were played. She wants to set the record straight about herself and show everyone what it was really like to be in the middle of all the action. The book promises to explore all the important stuff, which is not only her personal experiences but also wars and treaties, and how those things shaped Europe back then.
