Would make a great novel.... This is the story of the murder of the Duke of Orleans in 1407. It seems to have been marketed as fiction at some point: in fact this is a work of non-fiction. Nevertheless, with a little work it would make a great novel. The police, led by Guillaume de Tignonville, conducted a remarkably thorough investigation that at times used methods that were surprisingly modern. Most of the records of the interrogations and investigations survive, and are incorporated into the book in a way that gives the story a gripping immediacy. The police quickly tracked down the culprit. Only problem was, he was someone too powerful to arrest, so the crime went unpunished. The political repercussions of this are gone into at some length, showing how a common crime can have a lasting - and disastrous -political impact. Guillaume would suffer disgrace for having done his job, and reading about the things a Prince of the Blood could get away with make you understand the motives for the French Revolution almost four centuries later.

Great Factual Yarn!. If you are a history buff interested in royal intrigues and perfidies during the Middle Ages in France, you will love this true, well documented retelling of brutal assassination, shrewd investigation, betrayal and mayhem that saw murder got away with, wars of revenge and ambition, invasion, slaughter of thousands (many innocent) and unbounded lawlessness by "nobles." Highly recommended. Cannot wait for the movie!

Blood Royal. I didn't know what to expect, but on the advice of the New York Times book reviewer, I read Margaret Tutmans A Distant mirror before reading Blood Royal. Both were great reads, with Blood Royal placing the reader in 14th century Paris. I throughly enjoyed this tale of murder and the true story of how it was solved. You could not have made this up.
