Maurice Druon is something close to an HF miracle. He attends not only to the detail of the period, but the minutiae as well. Who else would bother to dust off Clovic custom and explain the implausibility of trumped up Salic Law? Or rummage through 14th century Reims bursar records to determine the number of dishes to be used and livestock to be slaughtered during the three day coronation festivities that crowned Phillipe the Long? Many might have the patience, but few the talent to make it all so fantastically engaging. In this, the third of the Accursed Kings series, there is marvelous attention both power grabs and to pomp and circumstances Most importantly though Droun is a keen student of human motivation and psychology--specifically the greed and ambition that motivate the powerful.Indeed, in 14th century France even the highest born aren't high enough to suit their sense entitlement. Everyone seems to believe the world would be a much better place if they moved up a rung or two, and oh, yes....if their enemies were disposed of post haste by any means. All of the above are the ingredients that spice up this splendid story of Phillip the Fair's ill-fated offspring. Characters like the Comtesse d'Artois are delicious sociopaths. Minor characters in the story like pieces on a real life chess board were the least powerful are dross to protect a king's most valued pieces. And there are wonderful, delightful chapters that imagine the election of Pope John XXII (the pope who didn't believe in hell). Droun's brilliant narrative is surely what folks mean when they say fiction is more true than biography.If you are unfamiliar with the series, become acquainted as soon as possible. It's the best historical fiction since Robert Graves's I Claudius, and Claudius the God. This is HF that is both meaty and savory. Enjoy!
Druon's series "The Accursed Kings" in well written and fun to read with a jaundiced view of the great and powerful during the period in which the series is set. It does take some liberties with possible hidden actions and incidents behind the documented history of the times portrayed but as far as I can tell from the perspective of a somewhat serious student of the period the series is, with the exception of one or two factual slips, quite accurate in following and effectively incorporating documented information."The Royal Succession" cover the period from the death of Louis X to the succession of his brother Philippe to the throne of France as Phillipe V. Phillipe was the one capable son of Philip IV and is an interesting figure in his own right. Other significant and well portrayed characters in the book include Mahut of Artois and her great enemy Robert of Artois as well as Cardinal Jacques Deuze the future Pope John XXII. The politics of the French Succession are at the core of the book when in 1316, King John I the Posthumous died and the female claimants to the succession were passed over in favor of Phillipe, the uncle of John I. This legally doubtful decision which was later described by French jurists as an appropriate enforcement of the long-defunct Salic law was to be a supreme example of the law of unintended consequences as it led to the succession of the Valois kings and the beginning of the Hundred Years War. The politics of the papal succession provide a counterpoint with the conclave that elected Pope John XXII.
Intrigue and mayhem continues to bedevil the royal family of France and Maurice Druon's star crossed lovers. Mahaut of Artois continues to cast a dark shadow over the comings and goings of monarchs such as Louis X, Jean I and finally Phillipe V. Three coronations occur in this book, two kings of France and Pope John XXII. The circumstances of all three make for entertaining reading in the fourth vol of Druon's accused kings series. The message in this book is to be careful what one wishes for.
Druon does it again! A highly reasonab!e explanation for the tumultuous events that marked these generations of the French monarchy. There may have been persistent peace with other nations, but it was apparently quite dangerous via a vis' other members of the extended royal family!
The Royal Succession (The Accursed Kings, Book 4) is another brilliant example of superb writing that to this reader is the pinnacle of historical fiction and literary entertainment. This series takes my breath away every time I open the pages on another reign of the House of Capet and needless to say The Royal Succession did not disappoint. The Royal Succession is the fourth installment of The Accursed Kings series and enfolds history and vivid descriptions of French chronicles to create a harrowing saga of intrigue, destiny, murder, revenge and loss of innocence. Each novel continues the saga of the previous installment and I would strongly encourage those interested to please read the previous three novels (The Iron King, The Strangled Queen and The Poisoned Crown) before attempting The Royal Succession; however each novel does contain a review of previous novels and events so the decision is yours to make.This novel's timeline only spans from June 1316 to January 9 1317 and follows the absence of a sovereign, the anticipated birth of a posthumous heir and detached manoeuvres of church and court. What transpires behind the empty throne is a succession of events that will ultimately throw the country of France and England into a bloody struggle for power. In The Royal Succession more imaginative drama is presented to the reader than the previous novels, history of course is kept in mind and follows events as close as possible but shocking counterplots are sure to keep readers up late trying to guess what will happen next. I highly recommend The Royal Succession and The Accursed Kings series to those who have a passion for history and a desire to discover a refined collection of novels that are sure to amuse and haunt the reader.
