Coup d'État, Part Two (S2: E10)

This week we’re continuing the saga of the first attempted coup d’état that we’ve seen in our history so far. Sure, the Kings and Queens in our story have tried to overthrow one another pretty much non-stop since we’ve started, and there has also been a sizable list of people who have tried to invade. What makes this situation different is the fact that the coup is starting at the point where the monarchy should be the most protected: the Mayor of the Palace, the position responsible for guiding and advising the King - and especially the child Kings. So yes, we’ve seen armies raised and we’ve seen treachery before, but this is the first time that we’ve seen a conspiracy put into play that threatens to remove the Merovingians from power. And it could - foreshadowing - very well be a stepping stone on the path to developing the blueprint that does eventually succeed in removing this first dynasty from the throne.

So come along as we explore treason, the ultimate betrayal of trust, why a King is known to history as "The Adopted", and as we try to understand how such a significant historical event is hard to pin down, timewise, to within a decade.
