"Charly 9" does not announce a stern historic treaty, and that is the case, the style of Jean Teulé, light and humorous offer the two faces of this sovereign died at 23, a young king and fragile, under the thumb of the "black" Catherine de Medici, a bloodthirsty character who ordered against his will, without doubt, the massacre of tens of thousands of Protestants in August 1572. Teulé emphasizes the nightmares that haunt him King, who is distracted while sinking into madness, senseless in hunting through the Louvre, on horseback, chasing rabbits and even a deer. He unbridled sexuality, both with Queen Elizabeth of Austria, with his mistress, Marie Trouchet. In total abandon, he makes false money, control of gold to an alchemist.
Royal life is completely "desecrated", even if the label is drawn in the court of Louis XIV. The king can go about their occupations royal pecking bigareaux in a jar ... The storyline is well documented, including the first dissection of a royal corpse, under the scalpel of Ambroise Paré. A good way to find a good black passage of our history.
