"Les cotillons célèbres" by Émile Gaboriau is a historical novel published in 1861. This documentary-style work explores influential women who shaped the French monarchy, from Queen Frédégonde of the Frankish kingdom to the famous mistresses of Louis XIV and Louis XV's courts. Gaboriau examines figures like Agnès Sorel, Diane de Poitiers, and others who "feminized" French royalty through their power and influence, contributing to France's emerging national narrative during a period of European geopolitical transformation.
