	uSAVEm ATHENIAS RARE Older Mundia 20in Doll
		Athenais de Montespan reigned as official mistress to Louis XIV during the most glorious period of the splendid century.
		Throughout the age Montespan, Athenais used her wit and beauty to stave off the intrigues of courtiers, the machinations of Versaille's clerics, and the wiles of lovely young pretenders to the King's heart - all doggedly seeking to unseat her.
		It was not until the Affair of the Poisons, a bizarre witch-hunt that uncovered conspiracy in the highest echelons of the nobility, that Athenais's hold on the King and court faltered.

	SBPL Book Review
		According to the new biography of this enigmatic woman - "Athenais, The Life of Louis XIV's Mistress, the Real Queen of France" by Lisa Hilton - the splendor and dazzling cultural creativity during the age of the Sun King was due solely to Athenais (1640 - 1707).
		Athenais was an attendant to Louise de la Valliere, the king's current mistress and therefore part of the court.
		Although Athenais was spurned and her secret ambition to marry the king did not materialize, it is her influence on the age that remains.
