Synopsis
This book examines the period of French history from the death of Louis XI in 1483 through the reign of Henry IV in 1610, a transformative century that saw France emerge as a major European power. The author highlights the reigns of three key monarchs: Charles VIII, whose disastrous Italian campaign nevertheless ushered in the French Renaissance; Louis XII, who consolidated royal authority and expanded French territory; and Henry IV, who ended the Wars of Religion and established the Bourbon dynasty. Drawing on contemporary memoirs and chronicles, the book vividly depicts the political, social, and cultural upheavals of the era, from the challenges of state-building to the rise of Protestantism and the profound impact of the Italian Renaissance on French art and thought.
