"Histoire amoureuse des Gaules; suivie des Romans historico-satiriques du XVIIe…" by Roger de Bussy-Rabutin is a satirical roman à clef published in 1665. Written during the author's exile, this scandalous pamphlet reveals the romantic intrigues and scandals of Louis XIV's court under thinly veiled pseudonyms. The work exposes the young king's love affairs, aristocratic debauchery, and courtly gossip—earning Bussy-Rabutin imprisonment in the Bastille, permanent disgrace, and lifelong exile, despite his recent election
to the Académie française. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
