I haven't read the books although I'm aware of them - the TV series seemed great, the one I saw last night was 'The She-Wolf of France', about the struggle for power after the death of Louis X.

I can't really judge the acting, not being a native French speaker, but the whole tone of it was really soap opera-esque (a great thing in my opinion) and had me gripped on the edge of my seat.

O the perfidy!

Unfortunately I did an interweb search after posting and it looks like it's nigh-on impossible to find an English-subtitled DVD version, so this recommendation may be for Frenchies only, and for Aussies who can catch it next week on SBS.
