Robert Artois manipulates Queen Isabella into a plot which will uncover the Princesses and demand the King of France takes action against them. He desires this because Mahaut received lands as a dowry for marrying into the royal family, and he wishes to regai the lands of Burgundy and everything that his family had lost. Having recently discovered that they are adulterous, he realizes that he can use this fact to bring down their family of Burgundy and the real object of his hatred - their mother Mahaut and his own Aunt. The novel starts with the Chevalier Robert of Artois plotting with Queen Isabella to bring down the princesses of France. Philip the fair's three younger sons are all princes of the realm and married to the ladies of Burgundy Beatrice, Jeanne, and Blanche. Isabella is now, at the start of the book the Queen of England and has been locked into a loveless marriage with King Edward the Second. Philip the Fair was an autocratic ruler, a widower and the father of four children, Isabella, Louis, Philippe and Charles. The tale of the "Iron King" concerns itself with the reign of King Philip IV (or Philip the Fair, known for his outstanding handsomeness). The novel of "The Iron King" by Maurice Druon is the first in a cycle of seven books "The Accursed Kings" which chronicle the formation of the Nation state of France from the early Fourteenth Century onwards.
