Reply to comment by ProfessorJAM 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 wrote her own memoirs, they’re freely availabke on Gutenberg and google books. Very entertaining 200~ pages.
If you’re still interested in the era afterwards, it’s time to read saint simon, the “king” of memoirs and the primary source for the late sun king rule and the regency.
