I read the whole series there are more than twenty years with a passionate interest. I reread it recently and I had as much fun as the first time. There are several reasons for satisfaction. First, recognize Maurice Druon to the merit of clarity in the chain of sentences. Simply do understand complex events is in itself a challenge which the author draws with merit. Then, this series turns the scope of each story to tell distant events but whose modernity surprised both the political aspects can be contemporary. Druon recounts the fall of the Capetian dynasty after the depravity of some of his offspring. Anything goes: love, scandal, passions, hatred, resentment, lust for power. The intoxication of human behavior is here condensed to the delight of readers. Birds of prey are around Philip the Fair and do not wait long after his death before melting on the kingdom and take back what the Iron King had confiscated for the best interests of the kingdom. In short, exciting.
