Summary "Le Château de Coucy" by Eugène Amédée Lefèvre-Pontalis is a historical monograph written in the late 19th century. The work provides a detailed study of the notable ruins of the Coucy Castle, focusing on its architectural significance and historical context. The author aims to rectify previous inaccuracies regarding the site while offering in-depth insights into the evolution of the castle and its role through various historical events. The opening of the work introduces the need for a new exploration of the Coucy Castle following earlier studies, notably emphasizing corrections to Viollet-le-Duc's interpretations. The introduction sets the scene by outlining the castle's historical background, including its origins dating back to Gallo-Roman times and its significance in the medieval period. As the text progresses, details about the lineage of the lords of Coucy and various sieges and conflicts involving the castle are presented, promising a comprehensive exploration in the subsequent chapters focused on the castle's architecture and historical importance.
