- Abstract
This article means to analyze the correspondence between Margaret of Lorraine, widow of Gaston d'Orléans (1615-1672), and Christine of France, widow of Vittorio Amedeo I of Savoy, on the occasion of the marriage negotiations between the daughter of Margherita, Mademoiselle of Valois, and Carlo Emanuele II, Duke of Savoy. The aim is to show the opportunities that a multicentric court society offers to a Princess enjoying very high yet controversial status, to develop a strategy of resilience and to exercise an informal influence on matrimonial politics of a ruling dynasty.
