The Burgundian: A Tale of Old France is a historical fiction novel written by Marion Polk Angellotti and originally published in 1912. The story takes place in 15th-century France and follows the life of a young man named Jean de la Foret, a Burgundian knight who finds himself caught up in the political and religious turmoil of his time. As the Hundred Years’ War rages on, Jean must navigate the complex relationships between the French monarchy, the Burgundian court, and the English invaders. He also becomes embroiled in the religious conflicts of the era, as the Catholic Church struggles to maintain its power in the face of the rising influence of Protestantism. Throughout the novel, Jean grapples with questions of loyalty, honor, and duty, as he tries to do what is right in a world that is constantly changing. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful noblewoman named Marguerite, and the two must fight to protect their love and their lives against those who would tear them apart. Overall, The Burgundian offers a richly detailed and immersive portrait of medieval France, filled with vivid descriptions of battles, court intrigue, and religious upheaval. It is a thrilling and engaging read for anyone interested in historical fiction or the tumultuous history of Europe in the Middle Ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
