The incredible facts of the life of history's most fearsome molester and killer of children present an enigma that will probably never be explained or understood, though the author makes a good attempt. Why and how an honorable and noble hero who supported and fought beside Joan of Arc could undergo such a fearsome deterioration into madness after her death while still considering himself to be devout remains inexplicable. Cast aside any romantic notions you might have of medieval France as you read of these horrific events and the terrible turbulent period in which they occurred.
