"Curse on your family to the thirteenth generation!" - Throws the Grand Master of the Knights Templar Jacques de Molay from the flame of the fire in the face of the King of France, Philip IV the Handsome. This fiery prophecy will come true: since 1314, for more than half a century, kings will succeed each other on the throne, but no one will stay for long. Palace intrigues, sudden deaths, dynastic upheavals and bloody wars will accompany this grim procession of damned kings. Creating his cycle about the incredible era that determined the future of beautiful France, Maurice Druon worked painstakingly in the National Archives, examining ancient documents. Cursed Kings, this unique series of grandiose historical murals, subsequently inspired George R.R. Martin, a great Druon fan, to work on A Song of Ice and Fire. In the first three novels of the cycle, the king's daughters-in-law are accused of infidelity, one king dies, then another, rebellious barons sow confusion in the provinces, officials plunder the state treasury, and there is famine in the country. Personal rivalries, court intrigues, the inevitable dirt in politics - or maybe all these blows of fate are really only the consequences of a curse? ..
