Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The princes étrangers were an influential group of courtiers in early modern France, none more so than the princes from the Lorraine-Guise family.

It is a substantial contribution to scholarship in court studies and will add greatly to debates on the nature of crown-noble relations in the era of absolutism.
