1690 History of France Mezeray Clovis Pharamond Legends Saint Louis IX Portraits

This impressive work covers the historical period from the early 5th-century Clovis and the legends of Pharamond, to the 14th-century reign of Francis I. Other notable royals including Hugh Capet, Charles III, Clovis, and Pepin the Short.
