The Six Queens of Francis the First
- Thread starter Prince of Permsia
- Start date
Charlotte married the man who kept her brother in captivity, Henri has more of a right for any grudge then Charlotte or her bitch daughter Margaret does!!!
I am going to be honest. I completely forgot about that part lol.
Margaret held no grudge against the French.

Francis
Francis
After two daughters Claude gave birth to Francis’s long-awaited male heir. His mother told the midwife to “tell the King that he is even more beautiful than himself.” Francis agreed saying that he was “a beautiful dauphin who is the most beautiful and strong child one could imagine and who will be the easiest to bring up.” As a reward for his birth oft neglected Claude was showered with presents and for a brief moment that rarest of gifts, her husband’s affections. But she would always say the greatest gift by far was her son.
Francis was an ideal prince, close with all his siblings, and beloved by his father and mother. The young Dauphin proved equally charming to his stepmother Beatriz of Portugal, who loved to spoil him with sweets. His aunt Marguerite and Grandmother Louise also adored him, often taking steps to raise him themselves, which irritated Beatriz and broke poor Claude’s heart.
Beatriz’s death in childbirth deeply upset the young prince, as it did all of Francis’s children. Nevertheless, he behaved as a true monarch, comforting his younger siblings and doing his best to keep them in good cheer. With their father away, Francis and all the other children fell into the care of their aunt Marguerite, She recorded that the Prince seemed very mature for his age, asking questions about the war and affairs of state.
Alas France would be robbed of a potential great King when little Francis took ill in 1524. The little boy, after confessing his few sins and commending his soul to God, passed from this world at the age of just six. His death, coming on the heels of his father’s capture and the death of his stepmother Beatriz in childbirth was a devastating blow to the family. Marguerite wrote about him in her poems. Charlotte and Henri would remember their big brother until the day they died. Henri in particular would later confide to a confidant that his one goal throughout his entire reign was to be the kind of monarch young Francis would have been had he lived.
