The Real Versailles
Helen Castor and Lucy Worsley tell the real life stories supporting one of earth's grandest buildings as BBC Two premieres its new drama set in the surroundings of Versailles. They disclose that the universe of sex, intrigue and drama which his courtiers and Louis XIV inhabited. Lucy untangles Louis's complex world of court etiquette, fashion and feasting, while Helen delves in to the archives and unpicks the world of court that Louis created. We meet with the people behind the on-screen characters and discover everything drove Louis to glorify his reign on a scale unmatched by any previous monarch, examine the stress between Louis and his brother Philippe, a struggle hero and overt gay, plus they meet with the coterie of women who collaborated for Louis's interest.
