About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Philippe de Champaigne, Sébastien Bourdon and Pierre Patel. Bardelys, the richest and most fashionable man at Louis XIII's court, wagers his estates that he can marry a lady in Languedoc who has refused the King's favorite — and arrives in her country under another man's name, wounded, and is taken for a rebel.

Sixty plates after Rubens and Champaigne show the courts, convoys and bivouacs of seventeenth-century France, the very world Bardelys rides through.
