The Royal Succession by Maurice Druon
This is the original Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin.
'No woman shall succeed in Salique land'
Louis X is dead, poisoned, murdered, by the hand of Mahaut d'Artois. Her plan is simple - to clear the path to the throne for her son-in-law Philippe. However, there is the small matter of Queen Clemence and her unborn child.
As the country is thrown into turmoil, Philippe of Poitiers must use any means necessary to save his country from anarchy. However, how far is he willing to go to clear his path to the throne and become King in his own right?
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.
