It began with a king who understood that beauty was power.At Versailles, under Louis XIV, refinement became the rule of court.A gesture could win favour; a single misstep could cost everything.From the king's court emerged a code of etiquette that shaped not only courtly life but also the very notion of belonging.Revolutions rose and thrones fell. Yet etiquette endured. It crossed borders, entered drawing rooms, and quietly defined distinction in modern society.Etiquette and Good Manners traces this royal journey-from palace decree to contemporary life-revealing how true refinement has long outlived rank, title, and even the crown.
