Excerpt from France From Sea to Sea
What a variety of kings that line produced! Now a Philippe Auguste, well named, for he was a Caesar in his plans and their working out; now a saint for St. Louis was a real saint; now a Charles the Wise; now a Charles the well-served, who betrayed those who served him well; now a human hyena and genius in Louis XI; now a Grand Monarque; and those others who, through their folly and wickedness, let go all their ancestors had gathered together.
