Prisoner of Chateau-Gayara. Dryon M.

Maurice Druon, the reading public knows primarily from the saga "Damned Kings", which revealed the gloomy secrets of the Middle Ages. Behind each work of the cycle there was painstaking work in the national archive, the study of documents written in archaic French or in Latin. After the novel “Iron King”, this series of historical frescoes continues the “Prisoner of Chateau-Gair”.

The ominous shadow fell on France. On the day of the solar eclipse, Philip IV died a beautiful, nicknamed the Iron King. He built fortresses, transformed laws and guarded the independence of France with all his might. The twenty -five -year -old Louis, who inherited his father’s throne, was not too suitable for this role. His main life achievements are the reputation of the cuckold and unflattering nickname: grumpy. First of all, he is not concerned with the fate of the state, but to the restoration of marital honor. From now on, the fate of the queen-change-in the hands of the monarch? Will the curse of the great master affect her fate?
