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.
