19107632Plon-Nourrit et Cie 1910 387 pages in8. 1910. broché. 387 pages. Cette biographie du Général de Piépape retrace la vie d'Anne Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon-Condé duchesse du Maine (1676-1753) petite-fille du Grand Condé et épouse du fils légitimé de Louis XIV. L'ouvrage la dépeint comme une figure centrale des intrigues de la cour notamment lors de la Régence de Philippe d'Orléans où son opposition au régent et son implication dans des conspirations lui valurent d'être qualifiée de 'démon femelle' par ses contemporains. C'est le portrait d'une personnalité hors du commun à la fois 'reine de Sceaux' (en référence à son château) et conspiratrice active dans un épisode trouble de l'histoire française
