Observers throughout Europe were alternately alarmed and fascinated in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as favourites, or minister-favourites, gained influence in the royal courts. This enlightening book provides many new insights into the role of these powerful individuals, how they came to usurp powers and duties normally exercised by monarchs, and why their royal masters ultimately chose to rule without them.
