About This Book

A charged religious procession moves from the city toward Chartres, carrying competing agendas that range from reconciliation with the king to plans for deposition, intimidation, or murder. Spectacle and rhetoric mingle piety with political violence as a staged flagellation and inflammatory cries turn the crowd against Protestants while leading nobles converse about secret projects. Amid the turmoil a hooded monk walks with a concealed dagger, and a closed litter carries two women who contemplate manipulating a powerful lord by asserting a rival’s death to clear the way for their schemes.
