The Tragedy Of Chabot, Admiral Of France (1906)

The Tragedy of Chabot, Admiral of France is a historical play written by George Chapman and published in 1906. The play tells the story of Philippe de Chabot, a French admiral who rose to power during the reign of King Francis I. Chabot is a trusted advisor to the king and a powerful figure in the court, but his fortunes take a turn for the worse when he becomes embroiled in a scandal involving the sale of offices. Despite his protestations of innocence, Chabot is arrested and put on trial, and the play follows his downfall as he is betrayed by his friends and ultimately sentenced to death. The play is a powerful exploration of the themes of power, corruption, and betrayal, and offers a vivid depiction of life in the French court during the Renaissance period. Chapman's writing is characterized by its poetic language, vivid imagery, and complex characters, making The Tragedy of Chabot a compelling and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in history, drama, or literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
