First bio about Philippe, a flamboyant homosexual who married twice and whose descendants are prominent in Europe, from Otto von Habsburg from Anne of Austria to many religious and political figures, including Otto von Habsburg. He was loyal to his brother the king, never any ambition but to serve. He won a battle over William of Orange, so the time is just before Gen Churchill entered the fray--he never lost a battle vs the French. Philippe was a smart financier, laying the foundation for the fortune of the House of Orleans. Well written AND interesting!
