Francis 1st is undoubtedly one of the builders of the modern state in France. He reorganized state finances and reformed the judicial system with the Villers-Cotterêts ordinance (1539). King Francis 1st also promoted the art of the Renaissance, which flourished in the construction and decoration of royal residences (Blois, Chambord, Fontainebleau), where he commissioned Italian artists (Leonardo da Vinci, Rosso , the Primatice). He also encouraged translations by philosophers and founded the future Collège de France. When he died in 1547, his son Henri II succeeded him.

Thank you for this. Francis I is much more interesting and multifaceted than I imagined. I love the palaces and chateaux from that period---especially the Chateau Fontainebleau. I hate to diss Henry VIII but while pretty enough, his palaces look blocky in comparison to the more graceful, airy style of the various French palaces--he really could have done with a couple of French architects. It's easy to see why Anne Boleyn grew up to be so cultured and style-conscious. The French styles of the era were lovely (I have a weakness for French hoods and wore an updated version at my wedding years ago).

Great stuff! When will Part 2 be uploaded?
-
Great doc. What about part 2?
-
Indeed!! His”fight” with HRE Charles V was almost 😅 personal in nature.
-
The mispronunciations--Papple for Payple, Capeeshun for Capayshun, etc.--are extremely annoying. The historical information may be mostly correct, but the inaccuracies are glaring and grate on the ear.

KING FRANCIS IS MY 17th GREAT GRANDFATHER, IT IS SO GREAT TO LEARN ABOUT HIM!🫡
-
Yes, when is part deux?
-
9:20 He had beautiful manners, was extremely well spoken chivalrous and always dressed in conspicuously gorgeous clothing although his facial features were unusual 💀
-
It's a mistake to call him in English Francis, because Francis, the name, do exist in French, so call by is real name François! And also François in old french means French!
-
Francis, also had new fresh painters, like students under Titan. One is related in my genealogy. He was born in Florence in 1500 and died 1579. Some of his paintings are in Washington D.C., France, Italy, and Germany.

It would be great story to listen to if only it had a narrator that could give it the flare it needed. We are talking about the king of France are we not? That deserves a narrator that can give it justice& can capture your listeners. Am I correct?.... Of course I am 🤗
