Quentin Durward
In May 1823, when Scott had just finished "Quentin Durward" he expressed his intention to 'try in a continuation' the deaths of Charles of Burgundy &amp; Louis XI. Five years later he began "Anne of Geierstein", which ends with Charles's death at the battle of Nancy and Louis in the background picking up the territorial spoils. The novel was written between September 1828 and April 1829.
