Line 3:
Tropes in this work:
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]] : well done for {{spoiler|Robert of Artois and Mahaut d'Artois}}, but somewhat difficult when it comes to mourn the less evil, but much more annoying {{spoiler|Charles de Valois}}.
* [[Anyone Can Die]] : pretty much unavoidable for a historical series encompassing such a large period. The final chapters of the sixth installment (which at the time was supposed to end the series) are mainly devoted to kill off all the survivors of the starting cast - not that they were so numerous.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Most of the front characters, anyway. There are some serious dick moves in these books.
* [[Big Eater]] : Mahaut d'Artois. Not played for laughts.
* [[Big Screwed
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Robert D'Artois, until he {{spoiler|is kicked out of France and}} turns [[Grimdark]].
* [[Break the Cutie]] : the assassination of {{spoiler|baby Giannino, who impersonated John the Ist for his presentation to the Barons}}.
Line 19:
* [[Finger Licking Poison]] : {{spoiler|John the Ist}} falls victim of that. {{spoiler|actually, it was an impersonator}}.
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]] : Borderline [[Black and Gray Morality]], in that the protagonist is on a very dark shade.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]] : Enguerrand de Marigny, {{spoiler|just before being hanged}} : "for just causes, I have done unjust actions". [[Well
* [[Large Ham]]: Robert D'Artois and Charles de Valois almost make it a [[World of Ham]], and they get some help from other characters.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] : most of them sporting similar first names and titles, so be very careful about family names and serial numbers !
