The siege of Montoban. Coven J.

Fierce winter 1621. The French King Louis XIII, being warm and comfortable, is the siege of the fortified city of Montoban, one of the main basenots of the Huguenots. The fortress does not give up. The king is nervous. His favorite, the knob de Luin, is nervous even more and slowly loses authority. But his rival, a thirty-year-old diblomet strategist Bishop Lusonsky, is gaining authority. He acts on the principle of “not by force, so cunning” and will soon go down in history under a formidable name - Cardinal Richelieu. In the next volume of “adventure masters” a brilliant raincoat and sword “Montoban siege” is included. Its author, French writer Jules Coven, worthy of the heir to the traditions of Shakespeare, Hugo and Dumas, created an exciting story of the game with the throne between the king’s brother, trying to move key figures, and the king’s master of the chessboard.
