If the stool played a great role at the court of Louis XIV, it was also the pretext of a war... that of the stools precisely, recounted by Saint-Simon. The Duchesses fought and the Duchesse became a seat with very curious forms.
There were benches and chairs, then armchairs, not to mention stools. A seat dear to the duchesses. Some fought for one, to sit in the presence of the queen. Standing, while others, sometimes cousins, were seated, was intolerable. The Duke of Saint-Simon was pleased to recount the «war of stools». This one was provoked by Mme de Chevreuse who sat, without any way, before Queen Anne of Austria, in the Val de Grâce, as well as from time to time, her sister-in-law, Mme de Guéméné. She was to remain standing at the Palais Royal: “… she sees no difference between the Val-de-Grâce and the Palais-Royal, nor why her sister-in-law, who sat in front of the entire Queen’s court in one place, would stand in another…” Mme de Chevreuse thus succeeded in «tearing off the stool in full everywhere for the prin-cess of Guéméné». The stool played a great role at the court of Louis XIV, ambassadors and courtiers were not unaware that the right to the armchair, the «back chair» or the stool was strictly codified.
