Author Maurice Druon

Narrator Pavel Konyshev

Maurice Druon’s reading public knows him primarily for the saga “The Accursed Kings,” which unveils the dark secrets of the Middle Ages. For each work in the cycle, there was painstaking work in the National Archives: studying documents written in archaic French or in Latin. The series of historical frescoes continues with the novel “The Lily and the Lion.” The curse of the great master of the Templars—cast from the flames of a bonfire upon the whole house of the Capetians—continues to act. Not a single descendant of Philip the Fair has avoided a tragic fate; none has lived to old age.

On the throne of England rises Edward III—son of Isabella of France. At Robert of Artois’s instigation, Edward III lays claim to the French throne as well, igniting a military conflict between the two powers, which becomes the beginning of the Hundred Years’ War. What will become of the grandson of the Iron King? Will he receive the French crown?
