       Praise for The Hurlyburly’s Husband

      ‘Teulé recreates with gusto the bizarre social mores of the nobility at that time: appalling, dirty and wicked … the author explores the hidden corners of history with the ease of a seasoned veteran.’ l’Express

      ‘A magnificent novel’ Paris Match

      ‘An unrestrained, nightmarish, hilarious, and moving portrait of the underbelly of the Grand Siècle, wading through its baseness, its excrement and its entrails.’ Elle

      ‘Jean Teulé reveals the very particular skills of a nobleman who sets out on a quest to contest the legitimacy of the divine right of kings long before the Revolution … An exhilarating novel.’ Figaro Littéraire

      ‘The husband of Louis XIV’s favourite never came to terms with being deceived by the king. Jean Teulé has restored the name of this magnificent cuckold.’ Figaro Littéraire

       The King’s been beating the drum

       The King’s been beating the drum

       To see all the ladies

       And the first that e’er he saw

       Did steal his heart away

       Tell me, Marquis, do you know her?

       Tell me, Marquis, do you know her?

       Who is this lady fair?

       And the marquis to the King did say

       ‘Sire, my own wife is she …’

      Chanson du

      Saintonge,

      seventeenth century
