A word about W. H. "Warnie" Lewis. He was, of course, the older brother of C. S. Lewis and a member of the Inklings. Although he held no degree, he had a profound interest in this period of French history (brought on, if I remember rightly, from an enthusiasm with the works of Alexander Dumas - an enthusiasm his brother did not share). It inspired him to delve into the background and eventually to write this fairly successful series of books.
