Summary "The Noble Rogue" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of 17th-century France during the reign of Louis XIV, the story revolves around the life of Rose Marie Legros, the beautiful and virtuous daughter of a wealthy tailor. The narrative explores themes of love, marriage, and social ambition, especially as it pertains to Rose Marie's eventual fate tied to her long-ago betrothal to the now-wealthy Earl of Stowmaries. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to M. Legros, a tailor who has just returned from a meeting with the Archbishop regarding his daughter’s future with the Earl. His joy over the Archbishop’s support fades as he reminisces about the past marriage contract made for Rose Marie when she was just a child. The vibrant interaction between Rose Marie, her father, and mother offers insight into their humble but affluent lives while foreshadowing the complexities arising from her forgotten marriage. As the narrative unfolds, the opening sets the stage for Rose Marie’s struggle between familial duty and her personal desires amidst the turbulence of her preordained destiny.
