@latida Well you would not regret it โจ๏ธ or maybe soon or late you could watch the serie. To be honest, it made it easier to me to read the book because I am Flemish and reading that huge book in French is not that simple for me but it worked ๐
@latida Oh yes it is โจ๏ธ In fact it's a book in different parts. Starts with Philip le Bel and the crusaders. Till the hundred years war. I had the luck to see the serie on tv and so fell in love with it. The book is a historical novel so not 100 pct accurate but yet instructive ๐ฅฐ
