About this audio guide
This guide to the Logis Tiphaine on Mont-Saint-Michel starts at a tournament in Rennes in the late thirteen-thirties, where a masked, borrowed-horse teenager nobody recognises rides into the lists. It follows Bertrand du Guesclin, the Breton boy mocked for his looks, and Tiphaine Raguenel, the learned astrologer he married. Best heard inside, between the armour and her astrology cabinet.
