Episode 212: The Prophecy

from Western Civ · host Adam Walsh

Years before her pregnancy, Louise of Angouleme was given a prophecy. Not only would she have a son, but that son would go on to be the King of France. At the time the idea seemed fanciful. Charles VIII sat on the French throne she was married to a minor member of the royal extended family. But then the unexpected death and ascension of the childless Louis XII suddenly made it seem as if her dream might come true. Today we introduce Francis I and follow the French King through his roughly first ten months of kingship as he battles for Milan at Marignano.
