Work introduction:

I never imagined that I would live to the day when I could write this story about the uncrowned King of France…without hurting the feelings of those whose families were involved in the various chapters of this tragic calamity.

The details of this story have fallen into my hands in a strange way… Since I had promised a few years ago that I would not publish what came to me from it… I, freed from this promise, fear that I will not find anyone who believes the story…

I know that many will deny it, and I admit that in some of its incidents there is a strangeness and wit that make it closer to the illusions of illusion than to the facts of history, but in spite of all this, the story in all its chapters is a real reality, untainted by illusion and not overshadowed by imagination.
