Episode 4: The Royal Succession
After the death of Louis X, Queen Clementia gives birth to his son, Jean, and thus another heir stands between Philippe and the throne. Mahaut of Artois resorts to poison to further her ambitions and finally succeeds in putting her son-in-law on the throne of France.
' I have tried to show history through fully-rounded believable people,' Maurice Druon , a former French Minister of Cultural Affairs and author of The Accursed Kings
' Of course ... to kill one person they would poison a well. Thousands died in agony.'
English commentary spoken by DAVID KING
Music composed by GEORGES DELERUS Adapted by MARCEL JULLIAN from the work by MAURICE DRUON Director CLAUDE BARMA An ORTF production
