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.
