Bardelys the Magnificent |
As Languedoc enters her year of rebellion, the Sieur Marcel de St. Pol has other things on his mind. For amid the glorious battles and brutal insurrections, Marcel a.k.a. the Marquis of Bardelys, has his heart set on a fair lady.
The hero, Sieur Marcel, a handsome, reckless favorite of the French monarch Louis XIII, wagers his estate with a rival for the king's favor that he can win a beautiful heiress in the province of Languedoc whom his opponent has courted in vain. Yet will she succumb to the Marquis' strange wooing?
How he goes to Languedoc and is promptly snared in the web of rebellion that has been woven against the king, how he is wounded in battle and seeks shelter in the castle of the girl's father, who welcomes him as one of the rebels, how he woos the girl, overcomes his rival, and escapes from a charge of treason, make one of the most stirring and swiftly moving stories of love, intrigue and adventure that Sabatini has ever written.
