THE GLASS KING! The King Who Thought He Was Made Of Glass

In 1392, King Charles VI of France suddenly snapped. Once known as “the Beloved,” he became one of the strangest and most tragic rulers in medieval history — a king who forgot his own family, attacked his own men, refused to be touched, and believed his body was made of glass. This is the story of the Glass King, the Ball of the Burning Men, the madness that consumed the French court, and the civil war that helped bring France to the edge of disaster. A dark, strange, and tragic chapter from medieval history.
