Descriere magazin:
Set during the Hundred Years War, this is the gripping, atmospheric true story of the duel to end all duels in medieval France: a trial by combat pitting a knight against a squire accused of violating the knight\'s wife. SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - A taut page-turner with all the hallmarks of a good historical thriller.-- Orlando Sentinel The gripping true story of the duel to end all duels in medieval France that pits a knight against a squire accused of violating the knight\'s beautiful young wife, soon to be a major motion picture. In the midst of the devastating Hundred Years\' War between France and England, Jean de Carrouges, a Norman knight fresh from combat in Scotland, finds his wife, Marguerite, accusing squire Jacques Le Gris of brutally raping her. A deadlocked court decrees a trial by combat that also leaves Marguerite\'s fate in the balance. For if her husband loses the duel, she will be put to death as a false accuser. While enemy troops pillage the land, and rebellion and plague threaten the lives of all, Carrouges and Le Gris meet in full armor on a walled field in Paris. What follows is a fierce duel before a massive crowd that includes the teenage King Charles VI, during which both combatants are wounded--but only one fatally. Based on extensive research in Normandy and Paris, The Last Duel brings to life a colorful, turbulent age and three unforgettable characters caught in a fatal triangle of crime, scandal, and revenge. The Last Duel is at once a moving human drama, a captivating detective story, and an engrossing work of historical intrigue with themes that echo powerfully centuries later.
