The Constable De Bourbon V1 (1866)

The Constable De Bourbon V1 (1866) is a historical novel written by William Harrison Ainsworth. It tells the story of Charles III, Duke of Bourbon, who was a French nobleman and military leader during the 16th century. The novel follows his life as a young man, his rise to power as Constable of France, and his eventual downfall and death at the Battle of Pavia in 1525. Ainsworth's vivid descriptions of battles and political intrigue bring the era to life, and his portrayal of Bourbon as a complex and flawed character adds depth to the narrative. The first volume of this two-part series is a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and loyalty set against the backdrop of the tumultuous Renaissance period in Europe.In Three Volumes.
