"Being an Account of the Strange Wooing pursued by
the Sieur Marcel de Saint-Pol; Marquis of Bardelys,
and of the things that in the course of it befell him
in Languedoc, in the year of the Rebellion."
Bardelys the Magnificent
The hero, 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. 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 on of the most
stirring and swiftly moving stories of love, intrigue, and
adventure that Sabatini has ever written.
