About the book: year / Paris, 1314. On the French throne is King Louis X. A grumpy, mediocre ruler from the Capetian dynasty, who gave power in the state to his uncle, the Count de Valois. His fierce rival, Enguerrand de Marigny, the first minister of the kingdom, is trying with all his might to preserve for himself the privileges of the times of the Iron King Philip IV. Disorder and arbitrariness reign in the country. Bachelor of the Sorbonne Jean Buridan and his brave friends declare war on the Capetian court and personally on Margaret of Burgundy, an insidious ruler for whom there are no barriers or remorse. Circumstances are such that the main enemy of the state becomes not the external enemy - Flanders, but the internal one - the kingdom of beggars, vagabonds and dangerous rebels, called the Court of Miracles. “Margarita of Burgundy” is the second book in the “Secrets of the Nel Tower” series by the famous French writer Michel Zevako. Published in Russian for the first time.
