About This Book

The narrative traces the émigré experience between the 18 Brumaire and the Restoration, concentrating on the exiled royal court at Mitau: its rituals, social life, financial strains, and dependence on the protection of the Russian tsar. It examines diplomatic and ecclesiastical maneuvering, including negotiations with the papacy and the French Consulate, alongside royal hopes, disappointments, and the shifting alliances of European powers that undermine prospects for immediate restoration. Chapters interweave court portraiture, political dispatches, and the clergy's gradual return to France.
