Description
The Lost Seigneur is a sequel to award-winning Chateau Laux. Set in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, it is the story of Jean-Pierre du Laux, a nobleman in southern France, who was wrongfully imprisoned during a time of religious intolerance and subsequently endeavors to return to his family. Many years have passed since he saw them and any reunion would have been impossible, without the unlikely help of a youthful companion that he meets along the way.
