When a king loses France, brings the 14th century to life, between the trial of the Templars and the beginnings of the Hundred Years' War.

Louis X the Quarrelsome has just died of poisoning. For the first time in three hundred years, a Capetian king disappears without a son to succeed him. This fourth volume of The Accursed Kings brings to life the bitter struggles that will be waged in order to seize the Regency. It is the brother of the dead king, the Count of Poitiers, who will prevail. To prepare for his accession to the throne, he will rely on a certain Salic law, this "law of males," in truth adapted for the circumstance, which will henceforth constitute the succession regulations of the French monarchy. The death of the posthumous son of Louis the Quarrelsome allowed the Count of Poitiers to become Philip V, known as the Long.

Title : The Accursed Kings, volume 5 - The She-Wolf of France - Maurice Druon - Book Summary :
The Accursed Kings , a famous historical fresco in seven volumes: 1. The Iron King. 2. The Strangled Queen. 3. The Poisons of the Crown. 4. The Law of Males. 5. The She-Wolf of France. 6. The Lily and the Lion. 7. When a king loses France, brings the 14th century back to life, between the trial of the Templars and the beginnings of the Hundred Years' War. Translated throughout the world, The Accursed Kings have achieved exceptional success and are considered one of the contemporary models of the historical novel. Philip V the Long has just died before reaching the age of thirty and, like his brother Louis X the Quarrelsome, without male descendants. The third son of the Iron King, the weak Charles IV the Fair, succeeds Philip V. An escape from the Tower of London; the cruel ride led by a French queen of England to drive her husband from the throne; an atrocious assassination perpetrated on a sovereign... The revival of History comes from England. The "She-Wolf of France" is the tragic nickname that chroniclers gave to Queen Isabella, daughter of Philip the Fair, who seemed to have transported the curse of the Templars across the Channel.

Title : The Accursed Kings, volume 6 - The Lily and the Lion - Maurice Druon - Book
Summary :
The Accursed Kings , a famous historical fresco in seven volumes: 1. The Iron King. 2. The Strangled Queen. 3. The Poisons of the Crown. 4. The Law of Males. 5. The She-Wolf of France. 6. The Lily and the Lion. 7. When a king loses France, brings the 14th century to life, between the trial of the Templars and the beginnings of the Hundred Years' War. Translated throughout the world, The Accursed Kings has achieved exceptional success and is considered one of the contemporary models of the historical novel. With the death of Charles IV the Fair, the Capetian dynasty came to an end. The Valois branch replaced it in the skies of France. Count Robert of Artois led these decisive years for Western Europe. No one worked harder than he to secure the crown for his cousin Philip of Valois. In exchange, he expected the return of his ancestors' earldom. To uphold his rights, nothing would stop him: neither forgery, nor perjury, nor crime. Stripped of his titles, banished from his homeland, it was he who delivered, before King Edward III and the Parliament of England, the speech that would become the first act of the Hundred Years' War.

Title : The Accursed Kings, volume 7 - When a king loses France - Maurice Druon - Book
Summary :
The Accursed Kings , a famous historical fresco in seven volumes: 1. The Iron King. 2. The Strangled Queen . 3. The Poisons of the Crown. 4. The Law of Males . 5. The She-Wolf of France . 6. The Lily and the Lion. 7. When a King Loses France , brings the 14th century back to life, between the trial of the Templars and the beginnings of the Hundred Years' War. Translated throughout the world, The Accursed Kings has achieved exceptional success and is considered one of the contemporary models of the historical novel. In this seventh and final volume of The Accursed Kings , the reign of John II is recounted. History has nicknamed this king John the Good, but this monarch was, in fact, as vain and cruel as he was indecisive and incapable. France was, at the time, in crisis: clans and factions were fighting over the country, England was claiming the kingdom, taxes were crushing, the plague was wreaking havoc, and the king was making a series of mistakes. We follow, through the story of a high-ranking figure of the time, the evolution of the reign. An unfortunate and bloody epic that would lead the king to the disaster of the Battle of Poitiers where he was taken prisoner by the English.

Title : The Brambles - Antoine Piazza - book
Summary : In the early 1980s, a twenty-five-year-old teacher, returning from Africa, is assigned to a village in Haut Languedoc. The country is becoming deserted. The land is abandoned. Young people have left to live in the city or dream of a suburban house. The small, withdrawn community protects itself from the modern world, from the incomprehensible chaos reflected on television screens. Here, life follows the rhythm of the seasons and the opening dates of the hunting season. In remarkably precise and elegant writing, the narrator chronicles the seven years spent crisscrossing the country and meeting its inhabitants: notables, hippies, families living in isolated hamlets, a retired policeman, a failed singer, old people posted on the side of the roads... This close-up witness, irremediably foreign, paints with vibrant humanity tiny destinies, immobile lives, confronted with the passing of time and a changing world. "Born in 1957, Antoine Piazza lives and works in Sète. He is the author of four novels published by Editions du Rouergue: Roman fleuve (1999, winner of the Millepages bookstore prize), Mougaburu (2001), Les Ronces (2006, winner of the Emile-Guillaumin prize) and La Route de Tassiga (2008)."

Title : The Roses of Solitude - Jacqueline de Romilly - book
Summary : This book is made of memories and reveries: it evokes familiar objects, each of which bears the trace of what was my life. Usually, we hardly see them; we are used to them, we do not pay attention. But it so happens that, sometimes, on the occasion of anything and a simple moment of attention given in passing, we rediscover a little of the memories which, over the years, have become attached to it. It is a very simple and very singular experience. I wanted to try to describe it, without changing the truth in any way; it is sometimes simple, sometimes naive, but it does not matter: for once I wanted to tell it just as it was, without inventing anything, without adding or correcting anything.
