The book that was banned in England is now available through the Internet at Amazon.com for all the world to see. It's the story of Le Chevalier d'Eon, his major success as a master spy, and his tender love affair with seventeen year old Charlotte, Queen of England. Every English Royal knows but will forever deny it happened. The truth is not supposed to be told...ever. Not then. Not now. Never. Two experienced French spies tried to get to Russia's Empress Elizabeth. Both were jailed and killed. Le Chevalier d'Eon, conscripted into King Louis Fifteenth's small group called THE KING'S SECRET is successful and he becomes Empress Elizabeth's closest personal friend. He personally veers Russia away from England and into the French camp. All this takes Le Chevalier d'Eon away from the love of his life, the girl he is about to marry, young Princess Charlotte who's waiting for him to return to her in Mecklinburg, Germany. But too late. She is kidnapped and taken to England to be King George the Third's wife. She will be Queen of England. Reacting immediately to Charlotte's message that she needs help, d'Eon rushes to London's Saint James Court.

Cross-dressing author, envoy, soldier and spy Charles d'Eon de Beaumont's unusual career fascinated his contemporaries and continues to attract historians, novelists, playwrights, filmmakers, image makers, cultural theorists and those concerned with manifestations of the extraordinary. D'Eon's significance as a historical figure was already being debated more than 45 years before his death. Not surprisingly, such sensational material has attracted the attention of enthusiasts, scholars and literateurs to 'the strange case of the chevalier d'Eon'. He has also attracted the attention of psychologists and sexologists, and for most of the last century his gender transformation has been viewed through a Freudian lens. His cross-dressing, it was usually assumed, must have a psychosexual explanation. Until the second half of the twentieth century the terms 'Eonist' and 'Eonism' were the standard English words for transvestites and transvestism respectively, but 'Eonism' was also, thanks to Havelock Ellis, widely regarded as a psychological condition or compulsion. However, in the mid-twentieth century, new ideas about gender-identity disorders led to d'Eon being redefined not as a transvestite, but a transsexual - a person who considers their sex to have been 'misassigned'. The essays in this collection contribute to d'Eon's rehabilitation as a figure worthy of scholarly attention and display a variety of disciplinary approaches. Drawing on new research into d'Eon's life, this volume offers original and nuanced readings of how a gender identity could come to be negotiated over time.

Born in 1728, French aristocrat Charles d'Eon de Beaumont had served his country as a diplomat, soldier, and spy for fifteen years when rumors that he was a woman began to circulate in the courts of Europe. D'Eon denied nothing and was finally compelled by Louis XVI to give up male attire and live as a woman, something d'Eon did without complaint for the next three decades. Although celebrated as one of the century's most remarkable women, d'Eon was revealed, after his death in 1810, to have been unambiguously male. Gary Kates's acclaimed biography of d'Eon recreates eighteenth-century European society in brilliant detail and offers a compelling portrait of an individual who challenged its conventions about gender and identity.

Set in 18th century France, Monsieur D'Eon-courtier, soldier, spy and intellect-keeps his (or her) secret for 60 years. A gender-bending, swash-buckling, biting comedy with all the right elements for an adventure story, it nonetheless makes some interesting observations about gender and class, both in 18th century France and today.
