Et hop ! Troisième tome, deuxième roi expédié ! La farandole continue !
On suit ici les quelques mois du règne de louis X qui suivent l'exécution de sa première femme. Ce volume est essentiellement centré sur les affaires d'Artois et le tout nouveau couple royal. Mahaut d'Artois et Robert continuent de se mesurer par alliés interposés.
C'est toujours du même niveau : excellent, tant du point de vue de la langue que de l'intrigue, les personnages étant très haut en couleurs (mention spéciale à Spin...more

Quando eu tinha uns 14 anos, meu pai me levou numa livraria e duas coisas me chamaram a atenção: A Viajante do Tempo, da Diana Gabaldon e a série Os Reis Malditos, do Maurice Druon. Já tinha lido Cornwell, então eu era bastante apaixonada por romances históricos e eu quis muito ler estes livros. Na época, meu pai não quis me dar nem um nem outro, e fiquei “chupando dedo”. Mas quatro ou cinco anos depois consegui colocar minhas mãos em 5 dos 7 livros da série (e meu pai me deu 2, vai entender) e...more
This one seems to take more liberties with history than the previous two entries. This tale continues the short reign of Louis X and how in ten short months undid a lot of the work of his predecessor. The questions around Louis' death is explored fully in this chapter. The side story continues with the Lombard banker Guccio's quest to marry the woman he is in love with. This story is almost more interesting than the main story line, since this one demonstrates the absurdity of the nobility to ma...more
3rd installment in "The Accursed Kings" series.
Princess Clementia arrives at France after a terrible storm at sea (which, among other things she considers to be an ill omen for her marriage) to meet her fiancee king Louis, who meanwhile goes to an ill-fated war against Flanders.
Jeanne of Burgundy, the one sister-in-law of Isabella of France not guilty of adultery, but only of aiding and abetting, is released from her confinement and reunited with her husband Philippe of Poitiers.

Encore très bon, je n'irais pas jusqu'à dire chef d'oeuvre, mais très plaisante lecture. Suite directe de La Reine Étranglée, les critiques qui valent pour le deuxième valent donc aussi pour le troisième. Les personnes sont intéressant, la prose est très bien (même si un peu pompeuse, bon, je range ça comme une caractèristique de l'époque, autant de l'action que de l'écriture). Pas particulièrement de surprise par contre, aucun réel retournement, l'histoire est bonne, mais assez prévisible. Et p...more
This days, in this third book, I have been tottaly absorbed by this story. Is definitely an excellent sequence of books in which I am discovering that dramatic period of the France history that I never imagined. Now, I like to go to France in the future, in order to visit some historical places named in this story, the museums, palaces and other monuments related whith the kings and people of that period. I am learnig so much reading this story, I can´t stop. Now, I am going for the next.
Probablemente nadie ha sabido de las maldades del ser humano tan concienzuda y crudamente como las describe Druon, sin morbo, sin exageración, podemos ver que el ser humano desde tiempo inmemorables siempre es gobernado por sus deseos de poder y ambición, podemos ver que nadie tiene la razón pero desde nuestra perspectiva siempre la tenemos.. este libro es una forma muy cruel de aprender historia... pero a la vez podemos acercarnos a la verdad.

The third in Druon's 'Accursed Kings' saga sees Louis X awaiting the arrival of his beautiful and pious new bride, Clemence of Hungary. But he faces problems in his realm: the barons are rising up, there's famine and war with the Flemings...
Alongside the story of the royals, Druon continues the tale of young Lombard banker, Guccio Baglioni, and his love for a French noblewoman...
Brilliantly researched as ever

I read it in french, but they only has the spanish version here. Oh well.
Al igual que desde el primer libro de la serie, éste no se queda atrás... hace que quieras leer todos los demás. Creo que en este volumen se conoce más a fondo a los personajes, todo el deseo y la intriga lo ha hecho hasta ahora el mejor.
Cuando consiga el tomo I en version tapa dura los leere.
Creo que este es el mejor de la saga
Toujours aussi agréable à lire !
Altamente recomendable
Estupendo libro.

Maurice DRUON me mantuvo muy interesado con los primeros tres libros de la saga... Si así enseñaran Historia en las escuelas, estoy seguro que los niños estarían mucho más interesados en ella!! (Eh, Dany??)
Hacia el final de la novela, me parece notar cierto desgane, cierto cansancio. Atacar un proyecto como este puede ser agotador, y creo que eso llega a notarse en este libro. Pero ignorando este detalle, el libro es muy interesante y me mantuvo pegado a la lectura hasta el final.

Hasta el momento es la novela más floja, la historia se queda en "continuará".
mas intrigas!!
Sigue la maldición. Parece que todos estos personajes estuvieran manejados por hilos. Lo único predecible es la desgracia, solo que no se sabe exactamente como sucederá. Excelente narración.
Even though the story is less intense than the first two books, you can see how the pieces on the chess board take their place and how this hiddden war against Louie X becomes even more cruel. Awesome historic novel
Toujours aussi génial !!!
This is the third of 7 books.
They are well written and the author has done a very good job at digging the French history (1200-1400)
