"La Reine Entranglee", also known as "The Strangled Queen", is a historical novel by Maurice Druon. The book is the second in the series "Les Rois Maudits". Set in medieval France, it tells of the intrigue and misfortunes that befalls the royal family of France in the leadup to the 100 years war. It starts off right where “The Iron King” ends, with Louis X becoming king of France. Louis’ uncle and his minister struggle for power, using Louis’ desire to be rid of his cheating wife as means to advance their own interests.

I listened to La Reine Entranglee as a French audiobook; the narrator is pretty good. The book has a good pace and interesting plots. However, I wasn’t particularly invested in any of the characters or gripped by the action. Overall, I would reccomend it someone who likes historical fiction, especially if you’re interested in medieval France or the 100 years war.
