Hello! I’ve found general information about life during this time period and I’ve enjoyed reading letters written during this time, but I’m struggling to find anything that goes in depth on the typical daily regimine of a noblewoman/royal during this time. I know it depends on the country, so I guess I’m particularly interested in central and western European countries (Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, Britain etc.)

I just have so many questions. Was life really as easy as it’s often depicted for the rich and royal? Especially during the Rococo era, especially for the women who typically couldn’t hold much power or make many decisions politically.

What exactly did they DO everyday? Read, learn languages, have like fifty hobbies ranging from flower arrangement to hunting? Or just sit in their gardens, eat grapes and pay painters to capture them in rest in their pretty dresses? Did a duchess, princess or child of nobility have a typical routine? Were they expected to know how to do certain things by a certain age? (I assume things like ballroom dancing, dining and general etiquette, multiple languages etc.) Would they receive private tutors for these kinds of things?

If you have answers or resources you recommend that can shed light on this information I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
