- Francis I Of France - RIVAL Of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V: Francis I, King of France was born on September 12, 1494 at Cognac Castle and died on March 31, 1547 at Rambouillet Castle. He was also called the Knight King, French François Ier, le Roi-Chevalier and was a French king from the House of Valois-Angoulême, a collateral line of the House of Valois.
François was anointed King of France on January 25, 1515 in Reims Cathedral and ruled the country until his death in 1547. Domestically, the king's reign laid the foundations for absolute monarchy and the Huguenot Wars. Externally, Francois fought against the universal monarchy of the Habsburg Charles V in the Italian Wars.

Part of how much I love this channel is that there’s literally no intro. Just straight into content. No annoying sponsor or ‘like and subscribe’ nonsense, just immediate learning. I don’t feel like I’m being held hostage before the actual video starts lol
That's exactly what I'm aiming for, to cut all the 'fluff' and offer you the best viewing experience. Glad it's working !
@@TheKingsofFrance as much as I love some other particular channels, having to wait five entire minutes to get to the point is kinda exhausting. I know I can rely on this channel to give me an immediate fix of knowledge, not that I’m an addict or anything lol
This!
Plus, she gives no opinions or says so and so must have felt this or must have felt that. She just gives the facts but in a nice way so it's not pedantic and it's very listenable to. If that's a word.
I really enjoyed learning more about the incredible life of King 👑 Francis I!
Merci 🌸
Thank you so much for watching again, Christine, I really appreciate it !
I’ve always been interested in the Valois dynasty, so I really enjoyed this :)
Me too!
Really glad to hear it !!!
I'm glad you did a video about Françoise 1st he has The most interesting story on all of the Valois kings.
Glad you liked it !!!
Awesome! I've been waiting for a video about François Ier for a long time
Glad you liked it !!
Thank you for posting the content. I am a big fan of French history.
Glad you like it, thank you so much for watching !
Merci beaucoup! As always, I totally appreciate your videos! 😇
François I, Roi de France, is my 15th & 16th great-grandfather on my mom’s side. I enjoyed this video about him! 🇫🇷👑
Bonus: Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, is my 14th & 15th great-grandfather as well as my great-granduncle on mom’s side. 🇦🇹🇩🇪🇪🇸👑
Thank you Peter, and wow, that's one impressive family history !
What does it mean that one person is your 15th AND 16th great grandfather?
@@pauleohl Grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents (2x), great-great-great-grandparents (3x), and so forth.
For example: King Henri IV of France was the great-great-great-grandfather of King Louis XV of France via direct father-to-son lineage. So yes, that makes him his 3rd great-grandfather.
I hope my explanation helped you out! 😊
@@BatkhuuChuluun are you a member of the French royal family 😂?
@@warstrategy Hah, I wish! I have royal Capetian blood (including Valois and Bourbon) via my mom’s side but at this point, it would be considered “distant” lol. That sounds nice so I can enforce my claim on the French throne but alas, barred by Salic Law. 😅😂
Please another vlog on François 1er regarding his patronage of artists and castle building/improvements.
I might but then it'll be in a later stage, as my main focus atm lies on making biographies. Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
I'm glad you are making videos on the medieval kings of France. I have enjoyed your videos, my favorite was on Louis XIII. He has been poorly treated by novelists and Hollywood, and it was good to be presented with a video based strictly on history. Have you done a video on Richelieu? that would be very interesting to me.
Yeah, I'm hyped to learn about the earlier royalty! It's been very interesting to learn about Versailles etc, but the Mediaeval era has my heart, & I'm particularly interested in the de Valois dynasty.
Richelieu will follow in March... I'll do the three cardinals at that time (mazarin and fleury as well)
Very cool! I actually read a biography of Francis I last year. I found his rivalry with Henry and Charles to be most fascinating as well the fact that he gave asylum to Leonardo da Vinci. Fascinating look at a fascinating king!
May I ask what was the name of the biography?
@@sardiniapiedmont Francis I: The Maker of Modern France by Leonie Frieda
@@sardiniapiedmont Thank you, I had the same question! ;)
@@robertpizor577 Thank you for the title, I look forward to reading it. :)
And I just checked my bookshelf, I have the book Leonie Frieda wrote on Catherine de Medici which I enjoyed. I thought that name looked familiar... ;)
@@t7147 It is an awesome read. Francis is an epic character. You won't be bored!
Another great video!
Thank you so much !
Another great video! Thanks as always!
Thank you so much ! Why did you get expelled ?
@@TheKingsofFrance l didn’t get expelled I got suspended
Love hearing about king Francis,since he is one of my ancestors.Thank you
Cool! How are you descended from him? I'm descended from another person in this vid, James V of Scotland, & ofc it's through an illegitimate son 🤣
That is so cool !!!

My mother's people hail from Brittany France and father from outside Paris ,Sarthe, LeMans.My dad use to display the golden sun face in our home,I wish I had that, don't know where it is.U do have a family tree that goes back to at least 1530 of family members and marriages,children and all the proven es and city's they are from.Lots of famous interesting family members.Good to know ones history! Thanks 🙂🌞
Hello from Georgetown, Ohio USA I just love you channel!! Thank you for your wonderful videos I enjoy them so much!!!
Hi Roxann, Thank you SO much for watching my videos, I really appreciate it ! I hope you'll stick around for a bit !! Glad to have you !
Another excellent video. One thing I've always considered a bit hypocritical of revolutionaries is when the case of France that and England that dug up and threw away the bodies of the kings, is that they don't acknowledge that they wouldn't have a kingdom to overthrow unless it had been for those kings that developed the country.
I love your videos. You deserve alot more subscribers and admiration. Thanks for enriching our knowledge.
I'm happy with all those I have already, it's such a blessing already Ambreen !!! Thanks for watching again !
Fantastic video. I find the historical French royals to have been very smart in their foreign policy. They did not just emphasise on having Catholic allies but also Muslim ones ( like Morocco and the Ottoman Empire) as well as Protestant ones (like Sweden and the Palatinate). France's ability to make friends with different nations with different cultures has helped them a great number of times in history.
Really glad you liked it Vishnu ! Thanks for watching another one of my videos.
@@TheKingsofFrance The pleasure is all mine. I am so grateful that this channel exists because I love history so much. I hope you are feeling better.
A Great King !
Thank you so much for watching again !!!
Wow! Fascinating! Brilliant! ❤ This is the French king & era I know most about, & I know some of the other people & events too, & there's soooo much lovely info here to link up! I'll be rewatching lots & taking notes 😊 I'm basically fond of Francois cos I believe he thrashed Henry VIII when they wrestled at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, & anyone who got Henry where it hurts- in his massive ego- is alright with me 🤣 He sounds cool & very interesting overall tho.
I think I might do a video about the field of the cloth of gold itself in a little while, mainly because I really would like to dive into the subject myself... Learn AND do the video at the same time sounds like a plan...
I've always felt that at the Field of Cloth of Gold that after being so courtly to each that both monarchs, when they were back in their private apartments and full of wine, they must have said the most horrible things about each other. Like Churchill in Moscow shouting insults about Stalin and Russians in his hotel room until he was told, shut up, the room is bugged.
I think I might do a video about it in a while, because I think there's indeed much to tell about the whole event...
Excellent video!! As usual I must say! I always wanted to know more about Francis I and you have provided. Though not a direct comment on Francis, I never stop being amazed at poor Charles’ enormous Hapsburg jaw. Artists of the time never held back in their portrayal of it did they lol? Love from 🇨🇦🍁
I am so happy you liked the video Rita, thank you for watching !
I searched for almost 20 years unyil finally found some Information on the period where Francis was imprisoned in Madrid area And only released when he agreed to handover his two sons to take his place . They sufferEd emotionally and health wise because of it. Back in the seventies I was told that they were not luxurious cells as some are claiming today and it was a family of long standing royal jailers. I found the family and the location and the tower still stands today. This info is slowly coming to light now. the trade for the children was made in a small river between France and Spain at Hendaye.
Thank you!
Perhaps the trade was made at pheasant island, it was used more often for official occasions between the French and the Spanish court !
@@TheKingsofFranceI just found my notes you are right! About ten years ago I was reading Jay Weidners book on decoding 'the mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye' which was near the river and the island which had been used as prisoner exchanges for long time. francis 3rd who was 8 yrs old and younger brother Henry 2nd were held for 3 years by Charles 1st of Spain to ensure Francis abide by the treaty of Madrid. it was said that they were scarred for life and the dauphin's health never recovered from the dank cells which matches what I was told in 1980. but recently it has been reported that they were treated like guests and brought their servants. this may be because the name of the family of royal jailers (of which I had been a member of) was uncovered
Casa and Torre of the Lujanes family (also royal jailers) in the Austria District, Old Madrid. The Casa/house, which possesses a patio in its interior, was rendered a major renovation by Juan de Luján during the last part of the 1400´s. There were interesting stories behind the Tower and Casa, the most popular is that the tower acted as a prison to French King Francis I after he was defeated and captured during the 1525 Battle of Pavia.
He signed the Treaty of Madrid in January 1526, declaring that the word and signature of an imprisoned knight were valueless and that it was beyond his power to dismember his kingdom. Still imprisioned and bedridden from battle wounds and syphillis, he was betrothed by proxy to Eleonora, widow of the King of Portugal and sister of his jailer. The wedding was to seal the reconciliation of the two rulers and was to follow execution of the treaty. As a last condition, Francis had to deliver his two eldest sons, seven and eight years old, as hostages. 4 years later In order to get his children back, Francis had to abandon his allies, give up Italy, and pay 2,000,000 gold crowns. His foolish expenditures had emptied the treasury, and the ransom was collected only with difficulty. Finally, however, the little princes were able to attend their father’s political marriage to Eleonora in 1530.
Love your videos!!
Thank you so much ! Glad you're enjoying them !
Thank you very much! 🤗 It's allways interesting to hear how the families and persons knit together. You mentonied de Medici and Sforza and Queen Claude who had Anne Boleyn as lady in waiting. And of course Charles V who was related to Catherine of Aragon and many others
Glad you liked it !!
Francois was related to Catherine of Aragon, of course, by marriage to her niece Eleanor, elder sister of his sworn enemy, Charles. And Charles' wife Isabella was the sister of John of Portugal, whose wife was Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII. And John and Isabella were the stepchildren of Eleanor from her first marriage.
I became interested in this period/family only recently, and there is so much DRAMA.
Thank you - I enjoyed this and will watch again!
Here is more interesting history, Calvin's dedication of the Institutes of the Christian Religion to François I:
"To His Most Christian Majesty, FRANCIS, King of the French, and his Sovereign,
John Calvin wishes peace and salvation in Christ."
Thank you for sharing ! That IS interesting !
@@TheKingsofFrance Yes! You're welcome!
François is a fascinating figure!
Thank,you for watching and commenting !
One of the best french king .I am not joking his courage save France from Habsburg family
Thanks for watching and commenting !
I am curious to know of your source for the information on Giovanni Da Verrazzano. Most sources say that his navigation between Cape Fear and Nova Scotia was in 1524, not 1534 as you propose in this video. Otherwise a fascinating a very well presented video. Thanks !
fun fact did you know he was called the french version of king henry the 8th
Minus the 2 beheaded wives then ? Lol... Thank you for watching !
Well done.
Thank you so much Paul !
Hi, Awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you and Rani your cat doing? I'm doing well. My cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani your cat. He sends his purrs and hugs. To Rani your cat. When are you going to Italy? The last time I went on vacation was in 2000 with my grandparents twenty three years ago. When I was in high school. Have a great day see you next video 😊
I'm in Italy as we speak. We've spent a few days at Garda lake just relaxing. Tomorrow, we're traveling on to Venice, on Tuesday we'll be going to Florence and lastly we'll visit Pisa. We'll be home on Monday the 17th of April.
The funny part is, that people who don't speak french could mistake your accent. That's so cute.
Btw: since it's January the 5th, you could probably make a video about my namesake René II. of Lorraine.
Some people think I'm Russian... Strange but true. Sorry for my late reply. René II De Lorraine wasn't on my list yet, but I'll add him ! Hope you are doing well !
@@TheKingsofFrance I just received bad news from my doctor, but I'm feeling great nonetheless. I was just thinking that he would be a great topic. I was named after him although we have a slightly different surname. I hope you're doing fine and no: you don't sound russian at all! But also not entirely dutch. Don't worry, bc people tell me all the time that my english sounds like a frenchman, that lived in Germany for a while and then swam the channel to London. *lol*
hats decrees
Would you consider presenting videos about others in the French court that may be not royal, but led interesting lives?
Gosh, good question. I'm a bit torn about that because I did a few videos like that, eg the one on François Ravaillac, or Nostradamus, and they perform rather poorly on my channel so I think they're not really what the majority of my viewers want to see. I have videos already prepared about Karl Wilhelm Naundorff as pretender to be Louis XVII and a video about the man in the iron mask, so I'm gonna see how they perform now. If they also attract less interest then maybe it's not wise, although I would like to...
@@TheKingsofFrance l understand the viewing data is important 😊 l read a lot of historical fiction, so it was just a suggestion. Your channel is so interesting the way it is. 👏
As fascinating as his times are, I think Francois I is one of the worst French kings, whose achievements don't live up to his aims. He only won Marignano 'cos the Venetians arrived to save him in his recklessness, a recklessness that led him to getting captured by Charles V. His arrogance led one of the most powerful nobles, the Duke of Bourbon, to join Charles V. His obsession with Italy nearly brought the kingdom to ruin. He was the Most Christian King and yet allied himself with the Ottomans. I think the Field of the Cloth of Gold is actually quite an apt metaphor for his reign: grand and showy with big intentions, but ultimately an extravagant, expensive let-down.
Who would have won in a duel between Charles V and Francis I?
I'd go for Charles V. He was a bit younger than François... so my money would be on him.
Coincidentally Francis and Henry VIII died the same year. Another interesting video on French royals as usual!
Thank you so very much !
yeah just 2 months apart
NICE VIDEO CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON ANNE MARIA D ORELANS
I'll put her on the list !
@@TheKingsofFrance thanks
Oh yes the italian wars period
Thank you for watching !
@@TheKingsofFrance No problem i really love the italian wars as a lombard since Milan was an allied of france yet
Can you do the video on Maria Theresa Rafaela of Spain early, like maybe today or tomorrow?
Unfortunately I'm not in the possibility to do so. I still have to do a lot of work on it, and it takes me up to 15 hours to make a video. Do you need it for a school project ?
@@TheKingsofFrance I do. Tomorrow, we have to write a five-paragraph essay on the dauphin's wife, Maria Theresa Rafaela. I really need to see this video. Thanks!
@@TheKingsofFrance I seriously need to see this video. This assignment is 30% of my grade, and I will most likely fail if I do not see this video. This is due tomorrow, and my teacher said that she can't give me an extra day to do it.
Apparently, since I couldn't see the video, I failed the essay. Now, I have a 60% in my class and I had no credible sources to write the essay.
Figura molto importante per il regno di Francia lottò per essa e fu un mecenate e tramite l arte ha vinto contro carlo 5 e Ferdinando e poi Enrico 8!! L avete nominata per favore dei video su Enrico 2 e Catherine de medici icona della moda e gioielli e poi arte come pittura e architettura e musica e teatro!!
Thank you for watching Alessandra !
Pope Leo X his name was Giovanni Medici he was the 5th child of Lorenzo The Magnificent and Clarice Orsini
Thank you for sharing. I am thinking about implementing a few popes left and right ....
@@TheKingsofFrance as far as I know there are exact 5 Medici Popes plus the last Medici family head Gian Gastone Medici was I think a grandson of Gaston 'd Orlean
@@TheKingsofFrance I know that's Italian not French history but do you know the exact name of Gulianno Medici's mistress is it Simonetta Vespuchi or Filloretta Gorini
@@TheKingsofFrance will you talk about Louis Alexander the son of Montespan and about the Grand Dophin
@@plamenivanov92 that video has already been made my friend…
Unfortunately any promise from King François I not only had zero credibility but he was also the biggest traitor to all of Christendom. Not a good look from the most Christian King of the eldest daughter of The Church.

merci beacoup, ,
Henry VIII reine angleterre, ireland & pays de gales..
via queen catherine valois...
was Francois I reine de france, distant cousin ,
also both had , capet bloodline....
the * plantagenets of anjou* married many capets,
house of valois was a cadet line of capet..
they also were ambitious and had complicated politics, some would argue, friends= rivals of charles V at different times..
is it true that francois and henri VIII shared mistresses, mary & anne boelyn.....,
the family link of the duc de guise.... queen marie de guise - consort of scotland....was a cousin to francois I....
also Henri henry VIII nephew was : King James V stuart of scotland...,
his other nephew ( by marriage- in law*)
via queen catherine of aragon, was charles V habsburg...
france * foreign policy * was complicated, to encircle austria and the habsburgs,
ottoman empire, prince of muscovy, kingdom of poland, kingdom of denmark, england, scotland, portugal...
the earlier english-portugese alliance ,
& scotland-france alliance,...
( this also created problems for france- scotland realtionship with austria and spain., the stuarts * de guise were not fans of the habsburgs, or england..*)
the lordship and kingdom of ireland and principality of wales were mostly catholic before 1535.also henry VIII had the title * defender of the faith*...
later the english reformation..., french support for catholic nobles in ireland & scotland.
francis I had a fistula,
Henry VIII a septic leg and syphillis
james V, blown up by a cannon....
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us !!
Quel nez!
Thank you for watching and commenting !
I dont remember a single battle where France helped Ottomans against Habsburgs even Ottomans were at the doors of Vienna. Francois as a king was pragmatist and double-crosser.
