Summary "The Justice of the King" by Hamilton Drummond is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around King Louis of France, who is deeply troubled and feeling particularly restless as he navigates the treacherous waters of political intrigue, suspicion, and familial loyalty. The narrative begins with the king receiving a mysterious despatch that stirs within him concerns about plots against his reign, particularly from his own son, the young Dauphin. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is tense as Louis grapples with his fears regarding his son’s intentions, the weight of kingship, and the pervasive distrust he holds towards those around him, including his own long-standing confidant, Philip de Commines. As the king's thought processes unfold, the reader witnesses his emotional struggles and cunning plans. The opening reveals a character steeped in paranoia and determination, suggesting a story rich in political maneuvering and the complexities of loyalty versus duty, setting the stage for the unfolding drama that will develop over the course of the novel.
