53 - Agnes Sorel by George Payne Rainsford James

Dive into the era of the Hundred Years War, a tumultuous period from 1337 to 1453, where the Kingdoms of England and France clashed over the French throne. Amidst the political intrigue and deadly plots, emerges the story of Agnes Sorel. At the tender age of 20, Agnes ascends to become the favorite mistress of the King of France, her influence over him sparking envy and animosity. However, her life is cut short at 28, just days after delivering her fourth child, with dysentery being the official cause. In this captivating narrative, we shadow Jean Charost, secretary to the Duke of Orleans and brother to the king, and explore how his life intertwines with the enchanting Agnes. Brought to you by Lynne Thompson.
