Fictionalised and satirical life of the supposedly chivalric highwayman Claude Du Vall who inspired a number of biographers and playwrights to add to his legend with claims of alchemy, gambling and much womanising.

Duval (1643-1670) was born in France, worked for exiled Royalists before coming to England at the Restoration where he robbed stagecoaches on the roads to London, being found guilty of six such robberies in January 1670.

DESCRIPTION: Loose modern card wrappers; old flyleaf inscribed: ‘John Sumner/ Sharston/ 1760’ - perhaps the Provost of King’s College, Cambridge (d.1772). Browned paper-stock: [2] pp22; old stab-sewing; wrinkling and several short marginal closed tears to foreedge of final leaf. This is one of four versions of Duval’s life to appear following his execution: OCLC 27091282
