More difficult to gloss over was the ostentatiously chivalrous behaviour of four male members of the Queen’s circle who went to watch over their liege lady like so many medieval squires. In other words, the Duc de Coigny, the Duc de Guines, Count Esterhazy and the Baron de Benseval (rated as too entertaining to be omitted) were there to amuse the Queen during her convalescence.
