Summary "Charlotte de Bourbon, princesse d'Orange" by comte Jules Delaborde is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the life of Charlotte de Bourbon, the daughter of the duke and duchess of Montpensier, who was forcibly confined to a monastic life against her will. The book is likely to explore her struggles against the constraints imposed on her by her family and her eventual quest for personal freedom. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Charlotte, destined by her parents for the cloistered life of an abbess at Jouarre. Despite the intended path, she exhibits a strong aversion to this fate, which her parents impose on her through threats and violence. The dramatic scene on March 17, 1559, where her forced profession as an abbess takes place, marks a turning point in her life. Though subjected to oppressive conditions, Charlotte's spirit remains unbroken, eventually leading her to rebel against her monastic obligations with the support of other notable figures in her life, setting the stage for her eventual escape and journey toward autonomy.
