Overview

After a brilliant career as a trader, Jacques Coeur was summoned to the court of Charles VII and appointed Master of the Mint in 1436. He rose to become the King of France's visionary First Banker who, with his tours of the Far East, his opposition to the crusades, and his efforts to develop trade, brought France out of the darkness toward the Renaissance and modernity. At the height of his success, his ill-considered infatuation with Agn s Sorel, King Charles VII's favorite mistress, precipitated Coeur's fall from grace.

In Rufin's delectable prose this true story becomes a gripping tale of adventure, a novel of ideas, and a moving love story.
