520 _a"A Gallant of Lorraine; vol. 2 of 2" by H. Noel Williams is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the life and actions of François, Seigneur de Bassompierre, marquis d’Harouel, a prominent Marshal of France, during a tumultuous period marked by political intrigue and military conflict in early 17th-century France. As the story unfolds, the themes of loyalty, ambition, and the complexities of court politics are explored through Bassompierre's interactions with Louis XIII and other notable figures of the time. The opening of the second volume sets the stage for significant battles and shifting political alliances, particularly focusing on the stalled siege of Montauban. Bassompierre is called to counsel and engage in a series of military and diplomatic maneuvers as tensions flare among various factions seeking power. His health is compromised amidst the chaos, yet he continues to navigate the treacherous waters of courtly favor and strategy. The dynamics of rivalry, particularly with the Constable Luynes and the emerging influence of Richelieu, are highlighted as the narrative progresses, painting a vivid picture of the challenges faced by those vying for the king's favor during a poignant chapter in French history.
