Summary
Versailles, 1667. Haunted by the trauma of the Fronde as the nobles of his court begin to rebel against the monarchy, Louis XIV in his 28th year in a Machiavellian political move decides to make the nobility submit by imposing a definite move of the court from Paris to Versailles, his father's former hunting lodge. Trapped by their king's 'invitation', the nobles of Paris gradually come to see the castle as a gilded prison and soon even the most humble courtiers of the King begin to show their viciousness as the alcoves of secrets, politics and war are maneuverer through, revealing Versailles in all its glory and brutality
