La Flor de Lis y el Leon
Druon, Maurice
With the death of Charles IV, the Capetian dynasty comes to an end, and the ascent of the Valois to the French throne unleashes the Hundred Years' War. Collective fate and individual tragedies play out in this sixth volume of the saga as the novel revives a time so turbulent and characters so outlandish that-- were they not known to be historical figures-- would seem fictitious.
