This paper investigates the ballets danced by Queen Anne of Austria at the French court in the years 1615-1635 with a view to showing how their form and content were less the result of personal preferences, but had more to do with the “domestication” of the Queen. Anne was constantly reminded of her duties of loyalty and submission to her royal husband, and made to pay homage to her mother-in-law in a show of subservience without precedent.
