Description
When her mother's husband dies, and his estate reverts to the crown, Louise de la Vallière enters the court of France's, Louis XIV. Her fine horsemanship and dancing prowess soon captivate the young king and the attraction is mutual. Quickly becoming Louis' preferred consort, she bears four children and is made a duchess. But she has an unexpected rival for her king's affections and her favor at court eventually falters.
