Louise de la Vallière
Louise de la Vallière is the middle part of The Vicomte de Bragelonne, the long final novel in Alexandre Dumas's cycle of the Three Musketeers, written with his collaborator Auguste Maquet. The year is 1661, and the young Louis XIV is beginning to rule in his own right. At Fontainebleau the court amuses itself with intrigues, flirtations and duels, while the king's attention turns to Louise de la Vallière, a gentle maid of honor who is promised to Raoul, the son of Athos. D'Artagnan, Porthos and Aramis are older now, caught between loyalty to the crown and to each other, as Fouquet and Colbert struggle for power in the background.
