This book examines public discussions around Frances fourÂ most prominent royal women during the first and second Restoration and July Monarchy: the duchesse dâ€™AngoulÃªme, the duchesse de Berry, Queen of the French Marie-AmÃ©lie, and AdÃ©laÃ¯de dâ€™OrlÃ©ans.Â These were the most powerful women of the last decades of the French monarchy, but the new roles women were assigned in post-revolutionary France did not permit them to openly exercise political influence. This book explores continuities and variations in narratives of royal legitimacy, and how historians, authors, and politiciansÂ used national history - particularly medieval and early modern history - to either legitimize or undermine the French monarchy, and to define womens social and political roles.Â
