The Rise and Fall of Renaissance France by Robert J Knecht
Drawing on more than 40 years of research and combining narrative with analysis, R. J. Knecht describes the rise and fall of France in the sixteenth century clearly and authoritatively.
"Knecht has created a synthesis of the most up-to-date research. . and at the same time restored narrative to history." The late J. Russell Major
"The book deserves to establish itself as the standard account in English of this most complicated of centuries in French History." Sir John Elliott, Regius Professor Emeritus of Modern History, University of Oxford (of the last edition)
