The She-wolf of France by Maurice Druon
'This was the original game of thrones' George R.R. Martin
Charles IV is now king of France and his sister is Edward I of England's Queen. Having been imprisoned by Edward as leader of the rebellious English barons, Roger Mortimer escapes to France, where he joins the war against the English Aquitaine. But it is his love affair with Isabella, the 'She-Wolf of France', who has come seemingly to negotiate a treaty of peace that seals his fate.
Maurice Druon was a French resistance hero, a Knight of the British Empire and a holder of the Grand Croix de la Lü¾Ž–”¼gion d'Honneur. He was also a member of the Acadü¾Ž–”¼mie Franü¾¶”¼aise and a celebrated novelist, best known for his series of seven historical novels under the title of The Accursed Kings, which were twice adapted for television. A passionate Anglophile, he was a great expert on all things English, including its medieval history, which provides great inspiration for the series.
