Two women make war on each other across the south of France in 1650, and every soldier is a piece on their board. Anne of Austria holds the boy king; the Princess de Condé, her husband in a cell at Vincennes, raises Bordeaux and takes the field to free him.
This war of women is, in good sooth, the most to be dreaded of all wars.
