Abbott aims to delve into the personal life of the king, presenting him as more than just a sovereign but as a man navigating through court intrigues, ambitions, and familial dynamics. The opening of the book introduces the complexities of Louis XIV's early life, beginning with the political landscape surrounding his birth as the son of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. Abbott outlines the tensions in the royal marriage and the early challenges faced by the young king, including the corrupt court environment and his education under Cardinal Mazarin.
