The Leopard and the Lily

The Leopard and the Lily is a historical and rigorous story about the fief of France Francois II and his hand, a poor noble named Guy de Montauban. Excerpt: «In the year 1444 there reigned in Brittany, one of the fairest fiefs of France, François II., son of the great Duke, Jean V. and Jeanne of France, daughter of the unfortunate Charles VI. He came to the throne in a time of peace. Between him and his two brothers was perfect friendship, and the wars that tore France did not disturb Brittany, unmolested by foreigners, strong and respected at home.»
