ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 25 March 1708 On this day, a Sunday, Louis XIV presides as usual over a meeting of the Council of State. After dinner, he goes to Trianon to visit the gardens. Also on this day, the King decides to change the schedule of evening meetings. He gives Saturdays and Tuesdays to M de Chamillart, who is not well. Sundays will be for M Pelletier and Mondays for M de Pontchartrain. It should perhaps be explained that several evenings a week Louis XIV works one-on-one with a minister. These sessions customarily take place in Madame de Maintenon’s apartment. She does not participate directly, but sees and hears everything. Council meetings are morning affairs. In contrast to the other ministers, the Controller-General of Finances has his one-on-one meeting with the King directly after each session of the Council of Finances.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 28 May 1708 On this day, Louis XIV presides over the Council of State. It was postponed for a day because of Pentecost. After dinner, the King works separately with M de Chamillart and M de Pontchartrain. He then leaves for Marly, where he will stay for 5 days.* *Memoirs of the Marquis de Dangeau Pictured: An 18th century view of the Château de Marly. Credit: Rijksmuseum, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 1 August 1750 On this day, Louis XV goes shooting on the plain of Chatou. Returning to Versailles very late, he sits down to médianoche.* Médianoche means midnight supper. The gentlemen who accompanied the King to Chatou probably enjoy it with him. He usually invites those who hunt with him to supper at the end of the day. *Memoirs of the Duc de Luynes Pictured: A corner of the dining room created for Louis XV in 1769. As of 1750, there is a smaller dining room in a different location in the Petit Appartment. Credit: Own photo taken onsite in April, 2016. Apologies for the slight blurriness.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 17 November 1785 Louis-Philippe, Duc d’Orléans, dies on this day, aged 60. The “Fat Duke” has for the last dozen years lived in the comparatively modest Château de Saint-Assise with his second, morganatic wife, Madame de Montesson. Great stage enthusiasts, they have regularly produced plays in their private theatre in which the prince himself has taken roles. Louis-Philippe is succeeded as Duc d’Orléans by his only legitimate son, Philippe, hitherto Duc de Chartres, born of his first marriage to a Conti cousin. The new Duc d’Orléans will side with the revolutionaries in the coming years, earning the nickname “Philippe-Égalité.” His eldest son, named for his grandfather, will later be the last French king, Louis-Philippe.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 21 January 1708 On this day, there is a ball at the Château de Marly. The dancing starts at 7pm. Louis XIV only stays for an hour, but the ball goes on until 9:30, giving the dancers some time to rest before supper, which is at about 10. The Marquis de Dangeau lists all the dancers, who are led by the Duchesse de Bourgogne and her brother-in-law the Duc de Berri. Interestingly, there are 13 ladies but 14 gentlemen. Did he forget to mention one lady, or does the discrepancy not matter? Baroque dance experts, please weigh in. A ball at this date is a performance by highly skilled amateurs chosen in advance. Dangeau previously noted that on this occasion a number of guests have been invited to Marly specifically because of their renown on the dance floor, including some who have given up dancing. It is closer to ballet than social dancing, and requires real stamina and athleticism. Aging courtiers often retire from it, but when the Sun King commands… Pictured: The plan of the Marly royal pavilion’s ground floor. The ball would have taken place in the octagonal central hall, which was double height, nearly 15m from floor to ceiling.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 26 March 1708 On this day, a rumour is flying around Versailles that the annual voyage (visit) to Fontainebleau will be moved up to May. Supposing that the Duchesse de Bourgogne is pregnant, which is not yet confirmed, the court’s usual sojourn at Fontainebleau in September/October will not be possible.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 29 May 1762 On this day, feeling better after his recent second bout of fever, the Duc de Croÿ begins to plan for his departure from Paris to take up his newly obtained command in Picardy. It is the eve of Pentecost, so he goes to make his confession.* Croÿ does not name his parish church, but it is probably Saint-Sulpice. He has mentioned being able to see it from his house. *Journal of the Duc de Croÿ Pictured: A view of the interior of Saint-Sulpice. Credit: Own photo taken onsite in April, 2018.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 2 August 1708 On this day, at Fontainebleau, Louis XIV goes to Mme de Maintenon’s apartment after mass and gives a long audience to the Maréchal de Catinat. Before going to mass, the King signs the marriage contract of the Prince de Léon and Mlle de Roquelaure. He reproves the young man for abducting his bride, but is otherwise so benevolent that the newlywed comes away charmed.* The young couple are already married, having had a secret ceremony on the day of the so-called abduction, which seems to have taken place with the full knowledge and participation of Mlle de Roquelaure. Nonetheless, they will now have a public wedding. *Memoirs of the Marquis de Dangeau Pictured: A view of the Salon d’Angle at Fontainebleau. Credit: Own photo taken onsite in April, 2018.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 27 July 1686 On this day, Louis XIV walks in the gardens and Monseigneur hunts deer. The Siamese ambassadors, meanwhile, having spent the night in Toury, stop to dine in Marville before going on to Malerbe for the night. They will reach Fontainebleau tomorrow. *Journal of the Marquis de Dangeau & Travels of the Siamese Ambassadors in France by Jean Donneau de Visé Pictured: A view of the gardens at Versailles taken from a window in the Salon de la Guerre in January, 2020.

ON THIS DAY IN THE VERSAILLES CENTURY (1682-1789) 8 November 1750 On this day, at Fontainebleau, the Duc de Luynes hears that the Comte de La Marck has died at Aix-la-Chapelle. He had been taking the waters there. The late count was a knight of the royal orders and also a Grandee of Spain. He is succeeded in the county by his only son with his late first wife, a Rohan. The new Comte de La Marck was married firstly to a Bienassis; their daughter is now married to the Duc d’Arembourg. His present wife is a Noailles.* Louis-Pierre-Engelbert de la Marck, born in 1674, was the Count of Schleiden, an Imperial county, but also held a plethora of other titles, dignities, and estates in France, the Low Countries, Germany, and Spain. He served Louis XIV and Louis XV as both a soldier and diplomat. His last post, from which he retired with the Spanish grandeeship, was as French ambassador in Madrid. Our diarist would normally report the deceased’s income and the value of his/her assets. Perhaps he does not have the information in this case. *Memoirs of the Duc de Luynes Pictured: Louis-Engelbert de La Marck (1701-1773), Count of Schleiden from 1750, but referred to as Comte de La Marck.

I didn't intend to post anything related to the passing of Elizabeth II because it would be off-topic for this account. Today, however, there was a scene at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh that was so historic and extraordinary that I feel an exception is warranted in light of the ancient bond between the kingdoms of Scotland and France. Louis XIV, after all, was mindful of the Auld Alliance and gave his cousin James VII of Scotland a warm welcome when the latter had to flee his native isles at the end of 1688. Now to that extraordinary scene I mentioned. Today, for the first time in nearly 500 years, a monarch's remains lie in a Scottish church beneath the crown of Scotland. The last monarch to die on Scottish soil was James V, King of Scots. He in fact commissioned the crown pictured here resting on his descendant's coffin just a few years before his death in 1542. I learned from watching the special session of the Scottish parliament today that Elizabeth II was called Queen Elizabeth, Queen of Scots in the proceedings of that parliament from its re-establishment in 1999. 'Queen Elizabeth' without the 'II' is a gentle reminder that Elizabeth I was Queen of England and Ireland but not of Scotland. On a personal note, I'm experiencing a strange degree of fellow feeling with Charles III since we both lost our mothers in the last weeks of the summer. They were both in their nineties, but it's impossible to brace yourself for such a loss. Finally, as one of Her late Majesty's Canadian subjects, I offer this post as my tribute to our departed Queen. God save the King!
