Excerpt from Paris From the Earliest Period to the Present Day, Vol. 2 It would scarcely have been thought that this gracious sovereign lady, one of the noblest figures among the women of France, could have been made the object of malicious slander; but one of her latest biographers, M. Elie Berger, thinks it Worth while to defend her seriously against the legend born of jealousy and impotence of having been the mistress of the Cardinal de saint-ange and of the Comte Thibaut de Champagne. His defence, apart from the inherent improbability of the story, seems to be quite convincing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
