The Valois: Kings Of France 1328-1589

The house of Valois ruled France for 250 years, playing a crucial role in its establishment as a major European power. When the last Valois, Henry III, was stabbed to death by a Dominican Friar in 1589, the dynasty was already discredited, but the monarchy survived intact. This book covers the history of the Valois family.
