| Summary | "Histoire de la prostitution chez tous les peuples du monde depuis l'antiquité" by Pierre Dufour is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work explores the phenomenon of prostitution across various cultures and epochs, delving into the roles, hierarchies, and societal perceptions associated with it. The opening chapters specifically focus on the historical context of the "roi des ribauds," a figure associated with the regulation of prostitution at the French royal court. The beginning of the book presents an exploration into the peculiar office of the "roi des ribauds," describing its evolution and significance from the time of Charlemagne to the reign of Philippe-Auguste. Dufour discusses the efforts of various historians to categorize the authority and duties of this enigmatic position, which served as both a judge and an enforcer of morality within the royal household. The narrative elaborates on historical accounts and references from notable figures in history, examining how the role transformed over time, ultimately leading to its decline as societal norms changed and other authorities gained prominence.
