Marie Mancini
Niece of Cardinal Mazarin, Marie Mancini was a young woman of wit and fire, very different from the wise ladies that the court of France expected of a future queen. Raised between Italy and France, she brought with her a foreign sensibility, nourished by poetry, music and philosophical reflections uncommon for her age. At the court of Louis XIV, still a young king in search of himself, Marie distinguished herself by her keen intelligence, her outspokenness and her sincere passion for freedom. More than her beauty, it was her deep gaze and independent spirit that captivated the sovereign. Between them is born a genuine love, rare and dangerous, because it is opposed to the demands of the reason of state and the political ambitions of the kingdom.
