1646 HUGE FOLIO History of FRANCE Legends Saint Louis IX Portraits Mezeray
François de Mézeray was a 17th-century French historian most known for his ‘History of France’. While many such historical works exist, Mézeray’s approach is a bit different in that he sought to collect and summarize existing French and Latin chronicles. This impressive volume covers the historical period from the early 5th-century Clovis and the legends of Pharamond, to the 14th-century reign of Queen Isabeau. Other important royals include Philip of Valois, Henry I, Saint Louis IX, Philip the Tall, Charles the Mad, and many others.
