Aware of her power over the King, and believing that this divorce from Marguerite once obtained, she should find little difficulty in overcoming all other obstacles, she was unguarded enough prematurely to assume the state and pretensions of the Regality to which she aspired, affecting airs of patronage towards the greatest ladies of the Court, and lavishing the most profuse promises upon the sycophants and flatterers by whom she was surrounded.
"The Life of Marie de Medicis, Vol. 1 (of 3)"
Julia Pardoe
I thought of the Prince who had been entertained there with his great retinue; of the Regality of the haughty Scotchman who ruled there; of Alexander Harvey, who had killed his enemy on the very spot, doubtless, where I lay: killed him as an outraged brave man kills-face to face before the world.
"The River and I"
John G. Neihardt
There was a confusion of Regality, displeasure, and grim humour in her attitude.
