Product Description
The Sunday Times bestselling author of CATHERINE DE MEDICI turns to Francis I, the king who transformed France into a great nation.The Sunday Times bestselling author of CATHERINE DE MEDICI turns to Francis I, the king who transformed France into a great nation.Francis I (1494-1547) was inconstant, amorous, hot-headed and flawed. Arguably he was also the most significant king that France ever had. A contemporary of Henry VIII of England, Francis saw himself as the first Renaissance king. A courageous and heroic warrior, he was also a keen aesthete, an accomplished diplomat and an energetic ruler who turned his country into a force to be reckoned with. Bestselling historian Leonie Frieda's comprehensive and sympathetic account explores the life of the most human of all Renaissance monarchs - and the most enigmatic.
