| Summary | "The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Charles X" by Imbert de Saint-Amand is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the social and political landscape of early 19th-century France, particularly concerning the court of Charles X and his relationship with key royal figures, including the Duchess of Berry. At the start of this work, the narrative begins with the historical backdrop of the death of Louis XVIII and the immediate events surrounding the accession of Charles X as King of France. The opening portion paints a vivid picture of the royal court gathered around the dying king, showcasing the emotions and reactions of the courtiers, especially the newly ascended monarch's family members. Through intimate moments and reflections by characters like the Duchess of Berry and the Duke of Angouleme, the text sets the stage for the ensuing reign characterized by optimism and expectations from the royal family, illustrating the transitional period of monarchy in France against a backdrop of previous revolutions and societal change.
