More about the book
The narrative explores the tales attributed to Nicolas de Caen, written in 1470, reflecting his possible biases as a supporter of the Duke of Burgundy. As a partisan, he may have embellished accounts involving the houses of Lancaster and Valois to suit his perspective. The reteller acknowledges significant abridgment and alteration of the original stories, particularly in "The Story of the Satraps," where the structure is modified for narrative flow. This work invites readers to consider the implications of historical storytelling and the influence of personal bias.
