If I Were King by Justin Huntly McCarthy is a historical novel set in 15th-century France, centered around the adventurous and romantic life of François Villon, a real-life poet and rogue. The story imagines Villon as he is temporarily elevated to the role of King of France by King Louis XI, who challenges him to prove his worth. Villon's wit, charm, and daring spirit are tested as he navigates court intrigue, battles enemies, and faces moral dilemmas. The novel combines swashbuckling adventure with a romanticized portrait of a colorful historical figure.
