Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an intimate look at the life of a prominent figure in fifteenth-century France: Philip de Commines. A nobleman who rose to serve as a key advisor to the powerful Duke of Burgundy, Commines was a man of considerable political acumen and ambition. The book recounts his life, spanning the reigns of Louis XI and Charles VIII of France, during which time he navigated a complex web of alliances, betrayals, and shifting political allegiances. The author, delving deeply into historical records, provides a nuanced portrait of Commines, detailing his rise to prominence and his eventual defection to the French court.
