Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Favourites of Henry of Navarre Henri's love-affairs were probably more numerous than those of any other King of France, not even excepting Louis XV. The escapades of his early youth are not worthy of mention, but in the appendix to the present volume will be found a list of the many fair women who appear to have attracted his attention from the time of his marriage onward. In the body of the work chiefly those who really exercised an influence on his career will be spoken of, and they, as it happens, are numerous enough. It is not intended that this volume should be either a complete biography of the great soldier-king or a full study of his times, and in no sense will it be a panegyric; but by the light of what will be set forth incidents neglected by grave historians as beneath their notice.
