Disgraced Duc de Broglio Exiled From France Over Turin Invitation
A Paris letter recounts the fall of the Duc de Broglio, once trusted to escort the Sardinian royal bride to Paris. The King forbids him from leaving France, ordering him to stay at his villa near Versailles after adverse court intrigues and ministerial persuasion failed to secure his permission to travel. The incident highlights court conflict, military reputation, and dynastic sensitivities surrounding the Artois family alliance.
