In The House of SaulxTavanes Versailles and Burgundy, 17001830, Professor Robert Forster examines the noble family of SaulxTavanes from the reign of Louis XIV to the Restoration. He provides readers with an account of a single aristocratic familys relationship to the changing political culture of the eighteenth century. Forster explores how an old aristocratic family promoted itself in the royal court, how the SaulxTavanes managed their estate remotely from Paris, and how the familys relationship to its creditors changed over time. Forster examines the ambiguities of one noble familys transition from provincial independence to courtly dependence and, eventually, to revolution. This book is an account of how the SaulxTavanesa family of emigre noblespreserved their life, revenue, reputation, esteem, and place in a French society transformed by political change and revolution.
