Originally published in 1939, this book presents a biographical study of Savari de Mauléon, described using the Occitan version of his name throughout the text. A portrait is provided of a 'continental baron who travelled between France and England, fought, intrigued, plundered, governed, and when occasion allowed, maintained a court at which poetry and song were encouraged and patronised'. A bibliography and illustrative figures are included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in European history and literature.
