The Palais de la Cité is a sprawling complex of structures straddling the Île de la Cité on the Seine in the middle of Paris. First built in Roman times to house a military garrison, it has been upgraded ever since to suit the needs of the various rulers of Paris. Fortified to resist the attacks of Frankish and Norman raiders in the early Middle Ages, the Palais now serves as the seat of power of the Capetian dynasty. The King of the Franks holds hist court in the Grande Salle. Here he receives the grand barons of France, the prelates of the Church and the burghers of various chartered cities. Recently, embassadors from all over the world have been gathering in Paris to form a great council of nations at the call of King Philippe de France.
Dressed in fine silks from the best artisans of Sicily and sporting various rings and other jewels, King Philippe greets them personally in his throne room.
