![]() ![]() Of course, the Iron King's greatest accomplishment has been dismantling the Knights Templar, a task which took most of his reign up until now. ![]() But his sons are being cuckolded: two of his daughters-in-law are sleeping around, with the help of the third. He is an effective king, if not well-loved, and has three sons. The story begins in 1314, during the reign of Philippe the Fair. While the period is described (quite aptly) as France's Darkest Hour, there is a lot of Black Comedy and ham involved. The Accursed Kings ( Les Rois Maudits in French), by Maurice Druon, is a series of seven historical novels that detail the destruction of the Knights Templar, then the subsequent deaths of Phillip the Fair and his sons, the ensuing Succession Crisis (or three) and the beginning of The Hundred Years War, set up against the backdrop of France spiraling down into a veritable Crapsack World after it gets hit by disaster after disaster. ![]() Martin Introduction for 2013 English Edition ![]()
