Spoilers for this title
Quick recap
Paris, 1314. Philip the Fair has Templar grand master Jacques de Molay burned at the stake, and Molay curses the king and his line. Robert of Artois, who lost the county of Artois to his aunt Mahaut, helps Queen Isabella of England expose the king's adulterous daughters-in-law. Philip dies that same year. His sons take the throne one after another: Louis X is poisoned by Mahaut, baby John I lives only days, and Philip V pushes through the law that keeps women off the throne. In England, Isabella and her lover Mortimer bring down Edward II. In the end Robert loses the Artois case for good, is banished and heads to England to push Edward III toward war with France.

Hidden details
Behind the scenesThe French I, Claudius
The miniseries earned the nickname "the French I, Claudius." The BBC even aired it in French with English subtitles in 1974 and 1975.
Claude Barma went with bare sets, painted backdrops and stage lighting. Much of the cast came from the theater, many from the Comédie-Française, and the point was to let the actors carry it.
Off-screen narrator Jean Desailly reads the novels' prose almost word for word. In the opening, the cast stands frozen like statues while he introduces each character.
No spoilersThe easter eggs give away parts of the title. They open once you mark it as seen.
