People perpetually drinking soup from "cracked" bowls to show how poor they are. You can't do that. The soup will leak out. Could have said chipped bowls.
The only historical things in here were some of the nobility and Notre Dame, and the book burning and he had them in the wrong century.
And he had the Queen Mother of France walking around with her hair uncovered like a prostitute.
The Inquisition was off by several centuries, and they weren't burning people for witchcraft until after that misogynist wrote Malus Malaficarum. In 12th century Christianity demons had no power on the earth and anyone who claimed magic was lying or deluded. Miracles from god were fine.
The premise sounded promising, so I was extremely disappointed in the execution of this story. He should stick to fantasy, as he appears not to do well with facts.
I only finished listening to this audio book out of spite.
