Bent on the persecution of the rich and powerful Knights Templar, Philip sentences Grand Master Jacques Molay to be burned at the stake, thus drawing down upon himself a curse that will destroy his entire dynasty. A web of scandal, murder and intrigue is weaving itself around the Iron King but his downfall will come from an unexpected quarter. He governs his realm with an iron hand, but he cannot rule his own family: his sons are weak and their wives adulterous while his red-blooded daughter Isabella is unhappily married to an English king who prefers the company of men. "Accursed! Accursed! You shall be accursed to the thirteenth generation!" The Iron King - Philip the Fair - is as cold and silent, as handsome and unblinking as a statue. The Accursed Kings is a series of historical novels by French author Maurice Druon about the French monarchy in the 14th century. From the outset, the inspiration that GRRM took from Druon is painfully evident. Violence, political intrigue and sexual license are the hallmarks of the narrative, much like Song.
