About this Item

Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full burgundy cloth. The spine is stamped in silver. Octavo. 335pps. An excellent, collector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright.

The fifth book in the author's 'Accursed Kings,' series and the original English language edition, translated by Humphrey Hare. "Though much of the story takes place in France, where Charles IV is now king, the real focus of interest in is England where his sister, Isabella, is Edward II's Queen. It opens with the escape of Roger Mortimer from the Tower of London, where he had been imprisoned by Edward II as leader of the rebellious barons. It follows him in his exile in France, through the war against the English in Aquitaine and his love-affair with Queen Isabella, the 'She-Wolf of France,' who had come to France nominally to negotiate a treaty of peace, but actually to escape her weak and depraved husband, and in time to wreak her revenge."
