- Elisabeth-Charlotte was a daughter of the Elector Palatine Charles I Louis and his wife Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel. She was titled Princess Palatine and known in the family as Liselotte. At age five, she was sent to live with her paternal aunt Sophia, Electress of Hanover. In 1671, Elisabeth-Charlotte converted to the Roman Catholic faith and married as his second wife Philippe, duc d’Orléans, brother of King Louis XIV of France, and was afterwards known at the French court as Madame. She was a prolific letter writer whose correspondence provides historians with a detailed account of the court personalities and activities.

Elizabeth-Charlotte was married to Philippe, Duke of Orleans, younger brother of Louis XIV. Philippe was a flamboyant homosexual at a time when there was no word for homosexuality - although his flamboyance fit in quite easily with the rest of the French court. Her comments on her husband's orientation make for fascinating reading, as does also her attention to details of dress and deportment among the elite. There's something agreeably earthy about Elizabeth-Charlotte. Among the topics she writes about: the quality of fabric for the dresses and gowns worn by the ladies; the misbehavior of the unruly children in the palaces, running wild without supervision; the various card games favored by the aristocracy; and the occasion jokes about farting and other bodily functions that her family enjoyed sharing. There's nothing stuffy or artificial about the Duchess.
She also makes many interesting comments on the international political scene of Europe in the late 17th and early 18th century. Elizabeth-Charlotte was connected by blood or marriage with almost all of the important European leaders of this time. William of Orange and his wife Mary, victors of the Glorious Revolution, were both cousins. Her favorite correspondent was her beloved aunt Sophia, Electress of Hanover, mother of the future King George I of Great Britain. Moreover, her son, another Philippe Duke of Orleans, became Regent and de facto ruler of France after the death of Louis XIV, during the childhood of the future Louis XV.… (más)
