In the seventh and last volume of the saga The Accursed Kings, Maurice Druon revives the reign of Juan II, averaging the 14th century. This monarch, who went down in history as John the Good, was actually a vain and cruel man, while indecisive and incapable. France was threatened by England, torn by fighting between clans and factions. Meanwhile, taxes overwhelm the people, the Church is experiencing a deep crisis, the plague devastates the country and the king accumulates error after error ... The exciting story of The Accursed Kings will end with the disaster of the Battle of Poitiers, where the King, after neglecting an advantageous peace that was offered, will drop-prisoner of the British.
