Reply to comment by kosmokomeno in “Being Madame is a miserable job” Liselotte of the Palatinate lived at the court of the French king Louis XIV and wrote countless letters that offer a unique insight into the intrigues and everyday life of the nobility. by swissnationalmuseum

She resented it judging by her letters. Not to mention that she was raised Protestant and lived at a very intolerant, if not bigoted, Catholic court.

I’d recommend reading the letters if you can find them in your language, they’re very witty and intelligent. She seemed to be quite the woman.
