Los venenos de la corona / The Poisoned Crown (Reyes Malditos/ Accursed Kings #3)

Description

Los Venenos de la Corona resucita los conflictos, odios, intrigas y crímenes que plagaron el reinado de dieciocho meses de Luis X. El desgraciado destino de la hermosa Clemencia de Hungría, llamada a ser reina de Francia y repentinamente viuda; los destinos truncados del joven lombardo Guccio Baglioni y de María de Cressay, cuyos amores debieron enfrentarse a las prohibiciones sociales; los destinos violentos de la condesa Mahaut de Artois y de su sobrino Roberto, separados por un odio acérrimo, y, por fin, el trágico destino del rey Luis X, que en pocos meses lleva la obra del Rey de Hierro al borde de su destrucción.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
