A new historical "cheat sheet" from Alexandra Marinina. This time - French. Paris, Versailles, brilliant kings, daring queens, elegant maid of honor and brave musketeers ... Well, who of us from childhood was not fascinated by France and its history! With a special "Marininsky" humor in the book tells the story of French kings from Hugo Capet, the founder of the Capeting dynasty to Charles the Eighth of the Valois dynasty. You will learn what kind of people they were, with what talents and shortcomings, what hopes and dreams they lived.
- Who, becoming king at the age of 38 (at that time - almost elderly), so skillfully plaited intrigue that he received the nickname King Spider, and under himself the most powerful families of France.
- As Charles the Fifth the Wise, cowardly avoiding battle, he waited for retribution for the English - an unprecedented in those places terrible storm with rain and hail. And achieved the return of his father from captivity, having bargained for better terms in negotiations.
- Who, being deeply unhappy in marriage, nevertheless received the nickname "Happy". And then, in his old age, he stole a bride from his own son and ended his days indulging in carnal pleasures in the arms of his young wife.
- Why the queen herself, dressed as a penitent sinner in a long white shirt, barefoot and with a candle in her hand, wandered through the streets of the city. And how it turned out for her husband, the King of France, who sentenced her to public humiliation.
