There were some interesting details, and having the genealogy all in one place is very useful. I thought she should have given much more weight to the PRDH, and I did not think her assesment of the Fille du Roi was in line with current thinking, but the book was useful. Chanplain had several associates, it would have been nice to see that interaction, and his will could have been added...fvp
