Splendor and misery of rulers

Once again, with this sixth volume cursed kings, Maurice Druon takes us enthusiastically into the French political arcana in these dark corridors of history where the pitfalls serve the ambitions of the powerful to the detriment of the common good. Robert of Artois, which one character strives inevitably, is to maneuver on all fronts in this story and after a regent, made a king and therefore thinks any permit to recover his land. Until tampering of records and commit wrong. Ah! This novel exudes utter modernity as some practices of the Republic are consistent with those of the Monarchy. It is always the common good suffers. Robert d'Artois convicted, will not cease to find a new protector by flattering the ear of Edward III and offering to take over from his grandfather, Philip the Fair. The mechanics of the Hundred Years War is well underway.

He had the ability of writing and clarity of about Maurice Druon so much passion for the player on that historical period.
