Book Description
In battle he fought with legendary valor. At court, dressed in silks and ribbons, he openly favored his male lovers. Despised but feared by his brother, King Louis XIV, Philippe of Orleans (1640-1701) was the perpetual loser in a lifelong sibling rivalry. Yet if France had a king today, Philippe's descendant would wear the crown.
