Charles the Bold - Last Duke of Burgundy [Quintessential Classics] (Illustrated)
An excellent narrative history of a stunning figure in a stunning time, Charles the Bold captures the essence of the 15th century. Wars, plots and counter plots, the intense struggle for power, the oppression of the mass, the ascension of people of great ability. It was a radical time of change, the end of the medieval period and the onset of the modern. Ruth Putnam's prose is brilliant to the point of lyrical, enveloping, a time machine that transports the reader back in history.
