Les aigles décapitées #1
This volume opens the medieval saga of Les aigles décapitées, plunging readers into a turbulent 12th-century France where the young nobleman Hugues and his companions—including the fierce baron d’Enguerran, the enigmatic Messire Ravenaud, and the loyal Sigwald—are caught in a web of conspiracy and violence. The story, titled 'La Nuit des jongleurs,' sets the stage for a dark tale of betrayal, honor, and the struggle for power, with the character Alix playing a key role in the unfolding drama. Published by Glénat, this collection marks the beginning of a classic French historical adventure series known for its intricate plotting and detailed artwork.
"La nuit des jongleurs" kicks off with a tense encounter between two troubadours, Sigwald and Hugues, captured on the lands of Baron d’Enguerran and brought to the castle of Crozenc. As the baron faces a test of loyalty from the Count of Poitiers’ bailli—himself secretly plotting against the count—tensions simmer beneath the surface of a seemingly routine inspection. Written by Pellerin and illustrated with stark precision by Jean-Charles Kraehn, with coloring by J. J. Chagnaud, this first issue of Les aigles décapitées sets a brooding, atmospheric tone from the very first page. The cover, also by Jean-Charles Kraehn, captures the moment’s unease with striking detail.
