Summary: "Under the Rose" by Frederic Stewart Isham is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a medieval context, revolving around the court of King Francis of France and the intrigues among jesters, nobles, and a princess. The narrative features a cast of colorful characters, including a clever jester named Triboulet and a spirited maid named Jacqueline, who navigate love, power, and social dynamics within the royal court.
