First eBook edition: September 2015. Rodez, a town in south-central France was divided for centuries by a feud between the local count and the bishop, and the strange case of Peyre Marques, a merchant who forgot where he had buried his gold. Then, in 1370, two workmen discovered a hoard of coins while unblocking a drain.
