A review by vicki_s
The Royal Succession by Maurice Druon

3.0

Accursed kings? Accursed everyone. I am devastated and destroyed. I only gave it three stars because it took till half way through to grab me. It is fascinating that the author's research unearthed such details from the early 1300's; exactly what the court was wearing, what was served at a certain banquet, and what was sacked in a castle has been preserved in journals and documents. I can't quite imagine cloaks of squirrel fur.
