Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri is director of studies in medieval history at the University of Urbino and head of courses in methodology of historical research and the history of the Middle Ages. William McCuaig has translated more than a dozen books from Italian and French, including Chiara Frugoni's A Day in a Medieval City, also published by the University of Chicago Press.

"I read The Man Who Believed He Was King of France with great pleasure. From the wonderful first sentence, it is a fascinating story and an engaging read. Unlike an Agatha Christie mystery, where all is revealed in the end, Falconieri emphasizes the knots and twists of the skein of the tale, and we are as wrapped in it at the end as we were at the beginning." - R. Howard Bloch, author of A Needle in the Right Hand of God"
