A true sequel to La Dame de Monsoreau. It concerns the revenge of Diane de Meridor upon the Duc d'Anjou for his base betrayal of Bussy d'Amboise. Historically it commences with the execution of Salcede and the arrival of the Forty-Five at Paris, and deals with the Guise intrigues, the campaign of Anjou in Flanders and his death. Period 1584-85. Maquet was again the collaborator. During the fete held at Villers-Cotterets in 1902 the original MS. of this romance was exhibited, half being in the hand of Dumas pere, and the remainder, the latter moiety, in that of his son, with a note signed by this latter to the effect that his father, being confined to his bed by sickness, had dictated it to the younger man. Yet in face of this it has been repeatedly affirmed that Maquet finished it alone. Includes vintage illustration!
