About the book

Set against the turbulent background of fourteenth-century Europe, this historical work examines an age marked by war, plague, religious conflict and social upheaval. Through the life of the French nobleman Enguerrand de Coucy VII, the book presents a vivid portrait of medieval society, from the courts of kings and the ambitions of aristocrats to the struggles of ordinary people facing famine, disease and uncertainty. Combining biography and history, it offers a richly detailed exploration of a century of crisis and transformation, revealing the striking parallels between the medieval world and the challenges of modern times.
