What is The Iron King About?

Set in the early 14th century, the novel opens with the reign of Philip IV, known as "The Iron King." Philip is a monarch of terrifying coldness and absolute power. He has defied the Knights Templar, persecuting them to seize their wealth. The story kicks into gear when Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Templars, is burned at the stake. With his dying breath, Molay curses Philip and his descendants, summoning them to meet him before God’s tribunal within the year. the iron king maurice druon pdf
