description: FIRST BRITISH EDITION. 2000 Sutton hardcover, Aubrey Burl (The Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany). Francois Villon is one of the great enigmas of French medieval history. A lyric poet of beauty and depth, he was also a murderer, pimp, thief and denizen of the underworld of 15th-century Paris. The book describes a riotous and debauched student life in medieval Paris and Villon's first steps on a life of crime when he was publicly flogged for writing a scurrilous ballad and later involved in a scuffle which ended with his killing a priest. - Amazon
