| Summary | "Love Romances of the Aristocracy" by Thornton Hall is a collection of historical accounts written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the romantic tales of the British peerage, capturing the complexity of their relationships filled with love, intrigue, and social challenges. The opening chapter, "A Princess of Prudes," introduces Frances Stuart, a maid-of-honor at the court of Charles II, whose beauty and innocence captivate the king and the attention of various suitors. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of Frances Stuart's early life and her unexpected arrival at the court of Charles II. As a child under the care of Queen Henrietta Maria in France, she blossomed into a captivating young woman known as "La belle Stuart." Upon joining the court, her playful demeanor and youthful charm draw the interest of many, including the king himself. While surrounded by a mix of admiration and jealousy from other court members, she maintains an innocent approach to her interactions. The chapter explores her ability to navigate courtly games and romantic advances while hinting at her deeper ambitions, setting the stage for a tale of social maneuvering and emotional complexity.
