Les Rois Maudits

Book • 1955
The series begins with the execution of the Knights Templar and the curse uttered by Jacques de Molay against King Philip IV, Pope Clement V, and the French minister Guillaume de Nogaret.

It follows the subsequent generations of the Capetian dynasty through scandals, succession rivalries, court plots, murders, and wars.

The story spans from the last year of Philip IV's rule in 1314 to the captivity of Jean II after the battle of Poitiers in 1356.
