The Poisoned Crown
The Templar's curse strikes a second time. Louis X's incompetence has ruined the country, and Mahaut of Artois, who has persuaded Queen Clementia to release her daughter Jeanne from prison, poisons the King and tries to put her son-in-law Philippe on the throne of France.
Louis X was the eldest son of Philippe the Fair-first of The Accursed Kings. Next in line for the throne is either his son Jean or his brother Philippe.
