About the series
A nine-issue series from Glénat, Le Fou du Roy ran from 1995 to 2004, offering a grounded, historical take on the court of Louis XIV. The story centers on a real-life figure, the court jester and poet Mathieu de Morgues, who navigates the treacherous politics and decadence of Versailles. The series is notable for its meticulous period detail and its focus on the often-overlooked voices of the Sun King's inner circle.
