Cursed Kings tells the story of the destruction of France by the
madness of its king and the greed and violence of his family. In
the early fifteenth century, France had gone from being the
strongest and most populous nation state of medieval Europe to
suffering a complete internal collapse and a partial conquest by a
foreign power. It had never happened before in the country's
history - and it would not happen again until 1940. Into the void
left by this domestic catastrophe, strode one of the most
remarkable rulers of the age, Henry V of England, the victor of
Agincourt, who conquered much of northern France before dying at
the age of thirty-six, just two months before he would have become
King of France. Following on from Divided Houses (winner of the
Wolfson History Prize and shortlisted for the Hessel-Tiltman),
Cursed Kings is the magisterial new chapter in 'one of the great
historical works of our time' (Allan Massie).
