The kings' mistresses

the liberated lives of Marie Mancini, Princess Colonna, and her sister, Hortense Duchess Mazarin

Illuminates the lives of the Mancini sisters, Marie and Hortense, who abandoned their arranged marriages and the court of Louis XIV of France to live lives on the run, winning the affections of kings and noblemen, spending their time gambling, disguising themselves as men, and publicly disputing the rights of their husbands over their lives.
