Robert J. Knecht 
Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France [PDF ebook] 

Soporte
The reputation of Francis I, king of France (1515-47 ) has fluctuated over the centuries. Acclaimed as ‘noble’ and ‘great’ in the sixteenth century, he came to be unfairly denigrated under the Bourbon kings and the republic. But, in the twentieth century, research based on archival material has restored his standing as one of the most important rulers of his age. The present volume brings together seventeen articles by Robert Knecht published over several decades on particular aspects of the reign, with three specially translated from French into English. They examine the period in more depth than was possible in the author’s 1994 biography of Francis I, and include studies of the Concordat of 1516 with the papacy, the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520, the lit-de-justice of 1527, and the visit to France of the Emperor Charles V in 1540. Other articles consider the king’s attitude to the Reformation, his court, his relations with Paris and visits to Aquitaine, his patronage of architecture as demonstrated by his building of the ch A teau of Fontainebleau, and his relations with his mother, Louise of Savoy, and sister, Marguerite d’Angoul A me. The king’s love of books and the political advice he received from scholars are also considered as well as the extent of his ‘absolutism’. Two articles compare the English and French Reformations and the nobilities of the two countries. The volume is intended as a contribution to the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Francis I’s accession.
