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.
