Author Maurice Druon

Narrator Pavel Konyshev

Readers know Maurice Druon primarily for the saga “The Accursed Kings,” which uncovers the dark secrets of the Middle Ages. Each work in the cycle was backed by painstaking research in the National Archives—studying documents written in archaic French or Latin. After the novel “The Iron King,” this series of historical frescoes continues with “The Prisoner of Château-Gaillard.” A sinister shadow fell upon France.

On the day of a solar eclipse, Philip IV the Fair—nicknamed the Iron King—died. He built fortresses, reshaped laws, and by every means guarded the independence of France. Louis, the twenty-five-year-old who inherited his father’s throne, was not particularly suited for this role. His chief life achievements were a reputation for being a cuckold and an unflattering nickname: the Quarrelsome.

Above all, he cares not about the fate of the state, but about restoring marital honor. Now the fate of the unfaithful queen is in the hands of the monarch? Will the curse of the Grand Master affect her destiny?
