Teaser Tuesdays aren’t quite as bloody as French history, but they are as much fun. From ShouldBeReading.
Poor France: it was roughly a hundred years since the country had been torn apart by the Wars of Religion; two centuries back she was being ravaged by the Hundred Years’ War. Only one century ahead she would be approaching the chaos of revolution; two centuries on and Paris would be plunged into the bloody insurrection of 1848; three centuries, and the country would be barely recovering from Occupation and Vichy. Now it was the time of the “Frondes”.

France does have an interesting history, doesn't it? Lots of blood spilled, though. Good teaser!
