«La reina estrangulada» is the historical novel by Maurice Druon published in 1973 by Famot in hardback (230 pages, in Spanish).
The French court sinks into intrigue after the death of Philip the Fair. Louis X, a weak-willed king, inherits a throne shaken by the Templar curse, while Margaret of Burgundy remains imprisoned accused of adultery. Nobles, bankers and prelates vie for power and the people suffer misery, in an atmosphere of conspiracies that leads to a crime.
The work is the second instalment of the series «Los Reyes Malditos»; the translation of the French original «La reine étranglée» is by Raimundo Aliaga Rincón.
It is a work for readers of historical fiction set in medieval France and of palace intrigue sagas.
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.
