«La ley de los varones» is the historical novel by Maurice Druon, published by Aguilar in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
In 1316, the poisoning of Louis X the Stubborn leaves France without a male son to inherit the throne. A struggle for the regency breaks out, from which the Count of Poitiers, brother of the deceased, emerges victorious. To legitimize his rise, he invokes the Salic law, the 'law of men', which will govern the succession of the French monarchy.
Fourth installment of the saga «Los Reyes Malditos», whose original title is «La loi des mâles» (1957). This Spanish edition corresponds to 1997.
Recommended for lovers of historical fiction and intrigues of the medieval French court.
Maurice Druon was a French novelist and a member of the Académie Française, of which he served as "Perpetual Secretary" (chairman) between 1985 and 1999.
