The work delves into the life of Anne Geneviève de Bourbon, Madame de Longueville, exploring her beauty, intellect, and the notable events surrounding her life in 17th century France, particularly within the context of her relationships and her participation in the Fronde. The opening of this work lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of Madame de Longueville's early life and character, founded on original documents and in-depth research. It introduces her noble lineage and the impact of her upbringing in a privileged yet tumultuous environment, emphasizing her beauty and the admiration she garnered throughout her youth.
