Maurice Druon(

115 editions published between 1956 and 2019 in 8 languages and held by 1,538 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The Iron King--Philip the Fair--is as cold and silent, as handsome and unblinking as a statue. He governs his realm with an iron hand, but he cannot rule his own family: his sons are weak and their wives adulterous; while his red-blooded daughter Isabella is unhappily married to an English king who prefers the company of men. A web of scandal, murder and intrigue is weaving itself around the Iron King; but his downfall will come from an unexpected quarter. Bent on the persecution of the rich and powerful Knights Templar, Philip sentences Grand Master Jacques de Molay to be burned at the stake, thus drawing down upon himself a curse that will destroy his entire dynasty ..."--

The poisoned crown : a novel by
Maurice Druon(
Book
)
27 editions published between 1957 and 2014 in English and held by 778 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
No man is impervious to the poisons of the crown...Having murdered his wife and exiled his mistress, King Louis X of France becomes besotted with Princess Clemence of Hungary and makes her his new Queen. However, though the matter of the succession should be assured, it is far from so, as Louis embarks on an ill-fated war against Flanders. Where his father, Philip IV, was strong, Louis is weak, and the ambitions of his proud, profligate barons threaten his power and the future of a kingdom once ruled by an Iron King. This is the third book in the author's Accursed Kings series of novels set in the early 14th century during the period of crisis within the ruling Capetian dynasty when after the death of the Iron King, Philip IV, his three sons ruled for short periods, thus encouraging England's King Edward III to claim the French throne through his mother, thereby precipitating the conflict known later as the Hundred Years War. The first of these sons, Louis X is the subject of this novel, and in particular his relationship with his second wife Clementia of Hungary. More plotting, scandal and family tensions abound, though the plot of this novel seems a little lighter than that of the first two books

"A ceux qui pensent que vivre pour un dieu est aisé, je dis : "Détrompez-vous." Aux mortels qui croient que notre vie n'est que volupté et délices, je dis : "Apprenez de votre erreur." Ayant échappé à l'infanticide, j'ai grandi seul, caché sur une île. Je suis devenu homme, et, guidé par ma grand-mère Gaia, j'ai concocté un plan afin de renverser mon père, Cronos, maître de l'Olympe. Seul, j'ai appris la vie, l'amour, la mort et la colère. J'ai levé une armée, j'ai réveillé les géants, j'ai libéré mes frères et mes soeurs. J'ai accompli mon destin ! Moi, Zeus, roi des dieux, dieu des rois, je vais vous conter mon histoire...

The seventh and final volume of The Accursed Kings series by Maurice Druon, The King Without a Kingdom, is available for the first time in English. The reign of the Capetian kings has ended and John II, 'The Good', first of the Valois dynasty, has taken the throne. But through the eyes of his Cardinal, Perigord, we see that a monarch, as vain and cruel as he is incompetent, now sits on one of the most powerful thrones in Europe. And so, under his leadership does The Hundred Years War commence, one of the most prolonged and bloody conflicts in history, as England and France tear each other apart. Warring factions plunder the land, famine threatens its people and the Black Death spreads far and wide, as France bleeds around the new king

La chute des corps by

Book
)
82 editions published between 1950 and 2014 in 5 languages and held by 307 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"En La caída de los cuerpos, Maurice Druon continúa el durísimo ajuste de cuentas a la sociedad francesa de la Tercera República que iniciara con la publicación de Las grandes familias, novela con la que ganó el premio Goncourt de 1948. En esta segunda entrega de la trilogía homónima asistimos a la debacle de la vieja guardia de los clanes Schoudler y La Monnerie. Si el hundimiento del banquero Noël Schoudler retrata el fin de las fortunas amasadas durante el siglo XIX y la codicia de los especuladores que sucumbirán en la crisis financiera mundial de 1929; Urbain de La Monnerie, ciego y octogenario habitante del castillo de Mauglaives, encarna la decadencia de una vieja aristocracia que está a punto de desaparecer. En cambio, nada parece detener el ascenso del arribista Simon Lachaume, un político frío y cerebral, hecho a sí mismo, que no reconoce otros antepasados que 'la universidad, las antecámaras de los ministerios, las salas de redacción y los gabinetes de gobierno.'"--Page 4 of cover
