Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Blaise De Monluc On a fine morning in the early years of the sixteenth century, a young Gascon gentleman mounted upon a Spanish horse, might have been seen riding forth from his father´s estate of Monluc, near Nerac, bound for the Italian wars. His heart was as light as his purse, for Italy held out golden hopes to all who aspired to win fame and fortune at the point of their swords. This was the case with our young adventurer. He belonged to a noble but impoverished family, and had nobody but himself to depend upon, but with true Gascon intrepidity he left the paternal roof-tree without ever a thought of the possibility of failure. Fifty years later, the same adventurer, now a marshal of France and an ex-Governor of Guyenne, ´maimed by wounds in almost all his limbs,´ and ´without strength or hope ever to be cured of that great Harquebuz-Shot in his face,´ sat down to dictate the story of his adventures.
