## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Highly recommended for students of history, political intrigue and GoT.
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2015*

I discovered this series in a Wall Street Journal article, then I read George RR Martin's introduction.  He got a lot of the inspiration and ideas for Game of Thrones from this series.  I have read the first four books already (in less than two weeks) and have found the stories engaging and enlightening.  The royals of that time truly did live differently than their serfs and servants.  It is "nice" to see that politics and conspiracies have been around for a long time and were not invented by the Democrats and Republicans of our era.  These are historical novels so some liberties have been taken with actual history but only enough to enhance the story and make them more readable.  You really get the gist of what happened and how these people lived.  The seven books were written in french from 1955 to 1977.  The english translations in these books feel very natural and modern in style.  Highly recommended for students of history, political intrigue and GoT.

    Truth is stranger than fiction.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016*

If George R.R. Martin's endorsement isn't compelling enough, it's pretty hard to think that my recommendation will win the day but I'll give it a shot. A lot of historical novels struggle with the magnitude of the task: the vast sweep of interconnecting events, the need to explain the significance and complicated customs/ways of thinking that are bizarre to modern readers, and the challenge of making five characters from history — in a time where every third person was called Louis or Phillipe or Jean — distinctive individuals whose concerns are sufficiently engaging to make them stand out from each other in a story and keep the reader immersed in the events of their lives. These books do this; so much so that, upon finishing the third book, I immediately acquired the remaining books in the series. The author has managed to find key characters that can make the dry facts of history come alive and — even though we know how things turn out because this is history, not a fantasy with a pseudo-historical setting — personal. I once had a university professor claim that all of the great wars had, at their core, an instance of personal enmity. Reading these books has reminded me of his assertion. These books really do bring the times alive and show that, while people and politics remain consistent, the means they have at hand vary quite dramatically. There are few heads of state today who can have their arch enemies burned alive in the public square and it is a rare instance when someone has no hesitation in poisoning a head of state who is not to their liking. Books like this remind us that we live in different times and yet, that the things that drive us remain the same.

    The Iron King, The Strangled Queen, & The Poisoned Crown . . .
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015*

. . . titles of the first three of Druon’s eight novels re-creating lives of the Capet dynasty of France, ca. 1300, give a clear indication of the general plot of each.  The Iron King is Phillip the Fair (Philip IV of France), a reformer shifting power in France from the old feudal system to a somewhat less rigid body politic that gave great power to a few able but low-born men eager to share power.  Intrigues abound as those who lost power, wealth, and status under the Fair’s policies plot to recover what had been their feudal rights.  The Strangled Queen is the wife of Philip’s son Louis, the Hutin, who comes to the throne following his wife’s discovered adultery and sentence of life imprisonment, heir-less and ill-advised by those who had suffered under his father’s rule.  The Poisoned Crown follows the plot that results in Philip IV’s second son, Philippe, coming to the throne.  Weaving through all three books is the side story of Tolomei, the Lombard banker, and his nephew Guccio, whose lives are spent lending money and collecting debts, falling in love, uniting a king’s daughter to the ruler of another kingdom, and holding secrets that give them increasing power and influence, survivability in the troubled times they navigate.  The entire series is overshadowed by the curse of the Knights Templar, who had lost their riches, status, and many of their lives under the rule of The Iron King, the curse of the Templar Grand Master as he died on the flaming pyre, watched by all of the city of Paris, the curse extending to King Philip IV and his successors for thirteen generations, even including the Pope who had approved the persecution of the Templars.  George R. R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones, credits The Accursed Kings as being the ‘original’ of his fantasy series.  Good reading, both
