Brother to the Sun King
Philippe, Duke of Orleans
In battle he fought with legendary valor . . .
At court, dressed in silks and ribbons, he openly favored his male lovers . . .
Despised but feared by his brother, he was the perpetual loser in a lifelong sibling rivalry . . .
"Philippe, brother of Louis XIV, might have been a prince of great renown in the service of the king—had the king only shown him his faith and trust. . . . This is an excellent book. I congratulate the author on a work that is objective and of high quality." Henry, Count of Paris

Reviews
"Combines archival research with twentieth-century psychological insights to illuminate a sad life of Philippe d'Orléans . . . Skillfully portrays Philippe's personality and that of others."—Wilson Library Bulletin
