In his court, his closest friends, les mignons, spend a lot of the royal budget and there are people around him are plotting his fall. The people is displeased with his extravagance, by the relaxation of morals and by the tolerance towards the Huguenots. This just means that the Catholic League is putting its plans together for a new St. Bartholomew.Finally, to round off the scene, Chicot, the court jester, is the only sane man, who not only gives good advice, but is in charge of undo conspiracies while cleverly mocking his king.Amid this chaotic atmosphere, M. Bussy is a gentleman of fierce reputation, beloved by some, feared by the rest, who, in an adventure where he is wounded, meets the woman who gives title to the work. Diane is captive in a house in the outskirts of Paris and her husband is terribly jealous.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Bussy becomes one more of the suitors of the lady, though he has the fortune of being the chosen one, Now he just has to find a way to get rid of the husband and to convince the Duke of Anjou to stop chasing her. Piece of cake!This story has been adapted to film three times, before 1950, and twice on television, first in 1971 and the second in 2008

Artistic License – History: As usual, in spades, but the character of Bussy himself is the biggest example - one of his age's biggest scumbags in history, a hero in the novel.

Balcony Escape: Performed by the Duke of Anjou by using the same ladder and the same window as The Mole used in the previous novel.

Badass Preacher: Played with: Goreflont is taken by one of them, although he didn't expect to play this role given his love for wine and food.
