The relationship between Charles V and King Francois I of France reproduces the political landscape of Europe at that time. The author of this book, Migne, is a famous French historian, so this book has high academic value.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! It tells the story of the later life of Charles V and gave me a deeper understanding of Europe of that era. Migne's academic attainments are indeed very high, and the historical details and political situation reappearance in the book are very wonderful. This reminds me of "The Story of the Romans" by Nanao Shiono, which also presents history in a vivid way. Looking forward to seeing more great books like this!
