Docile to the decrees of the Lateran Council (1215), according to which kings were not to tax the churches of their realm without authority from the pope, St. Louis claimed and obtained from successive popes, in view of the crusade, the right to levy quite heavy taxes from the clergy. By this treaty St. Louis gave Henry III all the fiefs and domains belonging to the King of France in the Dioceses of Limoges, Cahors, and Périgueux; and in the event of Alphonsus of Poitiers dying without issue, Saintonge and Agenais would escheat to Henry III. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09368a.htm

King St. Louis IX King Louis lived in the days of the crusades; and for him, chivalrous as he was by nature, there was no nobler quest than to wrest from the hands of unbelievers the Holy Land sanctified by Jesus' death.

Louis IX had ruled his kingdom well because he had first learned to rule himself. www.stthomasirondequoit.com /SaintsAlive/id704.htm

The French Royal Family: Titles and Customs The new king was the head of the house of Bourbon-Orléans, descended from Philippe, duc d'Orléans, son of Louis XIII. As lifespans increased, it seems that the concept of "fils de France" was extended to the children of the eldest son of the sovereign, and even to the children of the eldest grandson of the sovereign: in other words, to children of the current, past or future king. The enfants de France (fils, fille de France) were sons and daughters of the sovereign, and styled in medieval seals filius/filia regis: their high rank was similar to that of infante in Spain. www.heraldica.org /topics/france/frroyal.htm

Francis I, King of France - Olga's Gallery Francis I (1494-1547) King of France from 1515 and notable patron of the Renaissance. It is possible that this little painting came to Florence as part of the dowry of Christine of Lorraine, the niece and heir of Catherine de’ Medici, wife of Henry II of France. Jean Clouet, who was the king’s court artist in 1516, must have first made a drawing portrait of the king. www.abcgallery.com /bio/francis1.html

Henry IV, king of France. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 As a result of the temporary reconciliation (1570) between the Huguenots and the crown, Henry was betrothed to Margaret of Valois, sister of King Charles IX. 1553–1610, king of France (1589–1610) and, as Henry III, of Navarre (1572–1610), son of Antoine de Bourbon and Jeanne d’Albret; first of the Bourbon kings of France. The Catholic League, led by Henri, 3d duc de Guise, refused to recognize a Protestant as heir and persuaded the king to revoke concessions to the Protestants and to exclude Henry of Navarre from the succession. www.bartleby.com /65/he/Henry4Fr.html

Louis XVI, King of France Instead of addressing France's problems, Louis proved to be a weak man who succumbed to the schemes of advisors and his wife, Marie Antoinette, a daughter of Maria Theresia of Austria, who possessed her mother's will, but not her skills. France had been defeated in war by Britain [Treaty of Paris, 1763] and faced mounting financial woes. The King, nervous at the growing radicalism, attempted to lock them out of a meeting hall in Versailles, but they met outside and declared themselves the National Assembly. www.laughtergenealogy.com /bin/histprof/misc/louisxvi.html

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Louis XIV But the doctrine of the Divine right of kings succeeded in establishing itself upon the ruins of the Fronde; according to that doctrine Louis XIV had to reckon only with God, and the same doctrine served as one of the supports of the dictatorship which he pretended to exercise over the Church of France. The Gallicans in France and the Protestants abroad pointed to this decision of the king as a desertion of his principles. In consequence of the testament of Charles II, King of Spain, the Spanish Throne passed from the Habsburgs to the Bourbons. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09371a.htm

St. Louis of France A similar compromise was made with the King of-Aragon, by which France secured Provence and most of Languedoc, and gave up claims to Roussillon and Barcelona. This crusading king was a living embodiment of the Christianity of the time: he lived for the welfare of his subjects and the glory of God. The King issued orders that all acts of violence committed by his soldiers should be punished and restitution made to the persons injured. www.ewtn.com /library/MARY/LOUIS.htm

King Lear - France Surely France would suggest to Lear that he is making a mountain out of a molehill and would expect him to reassign Cordelia's dowry for the mutual security of their two countries as well as for France's sake as his son-in-law. The King of France needs to be at the centre of power in case this happens and this might be the fear and danger requiring his personal return. France, according to Lear, had been long in our court. www.geocities.com /geotassie/france.html

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 A candidate for the Holy Roman emperor& crown (1519), he was defeated by Charles V, king of Spain, whose supremacy in Europe Francis was to contest in four wars. In 1520 Francis tried to secure the support of King Henry VIII of England against the emperor in the interview on the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
