I knew evil life of Charles IX and the episode of the massacre of St Bartholomew seen by Jean Teulé has something ruffling! we guess the horrors; and assite mental lapse that poor king sport of an inordinately cruel mother. The descent into hell Charly 9 is told with passion, jubilation, a ribaldry such that we can not leave the book, we are caught in this whirlwind that Jean Teulé knows so well vivre.Agréable also to meet Ambroise Pare, Pierre de Ronsard and compassionate ... passive witnesses of the madness of their protector.
