«La ley de los varones» is the historical novel by Maurice Druon, fourth installment of Los Reyes Malditos, in hardcover (352 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative takes place in France in 1316, when the death of Louis X leaves the throne without a male heir. The crown may go to a five-year-old girl or to the son expected by the king's second wife, while three relatives dispute the regency. The Duke of Poitiers invokes the «ley de los varones» to justify his right to the throne, amid a climate of alliances and conflicting interests.
Fourth installment of the Los Reyes Malditos saga, with Spanish translation by María Guadalupe Orozco Bravo. Originally published in 1957 as «La loi des mâles».
For readers of historical fiction and medieval plots with political intrigue, and for those who follow the Los Reyes Malditos series.
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.
