Histoire dessinée de la France #5

Part of La Découverte's Histoire dessinée de la France series, this 2018 volume poses the irresistible question right on the cover: Qui est Charlemagne? Damien Vidal's artwork sets the tone beautifully — a red-robed figure triumphantly raises a golden crown above a jostling crowd of crowned and armored figures, each seemingly with their own claim to the great Frankish legacy. Sylvie Joye brings scholarly depth to the project, making this an accessible and visually engaging entry point into one of medieval history's most compelling figures.
