Francis the 1st - The King of France (1515-1547) - The Great King

- čas přidán 10. 05. 2021
- Son of Charles of Angoulême and Louise of Savoy, Francis 1st succeeded his cousin Louis XII in 1515, whose daughter Claude he married. Widowed later in life, he remarried with Éléonore de Habsbourg, the sister of Charles Quint.
Francis 1st is undoubtedly one of the builders of the modern state in France. He reorganized state finances and reformed the judicial system with the Villers-Cotterêts ordinance (1539). King Francis 1st also promoted the art of the Renaissance, which flourished in the construction and decoration of royal residences (Blois, Chambord, Fontainebleau), where he commissioned Italian artists (Leonardo da Vinci, Rosso , the Primatice). He also encouraged translations by philosophers and founded the future Collège de France. When he died in 1547, his son Henri II succeeded him.

François I is my thirteenth great grandfather. I didn’t really know anything about him, so this was very informative. Thank you for uploading. ❤️
Interesting
Hi cousin! I’m fifteen times removed
Henry was my twelfth great grandfather also. I’m glad I seemed to have dodged that bullseye nose. 💀
I’m also indirectly related to Ivan the Terrible on my father’s side of the family.
I like to think the good traits live on and the bad ones fall by the wayside. 🤷🏼♂️
@@nicholasrue7397 which of Henry's children are you descended from?
You may be a distant relative of my spouse. There is royal blood in the family and one of his ancestors went to what is now Canada. Depending upon when they emigrated (I if my memory serves me correctly, it was in the mid-1600s), they were very likely Valois.
Thank you for this. Francis I is much more interesting and multifaceted than I imagined. I love the palaces and chateaux from that period---especially the Chateau Fontainebleau. I hate to diss Henry VIII but while pretty enough, his palaces look blocky in comparison to the more graceful, airy style of the various French palaces--he really could have done with a couple of French architects. It's easy to see why Anne Boleyn grew up to be so cultured and style-conscious. The French styles of the era were lovely (I have a weakness for French hoods and wore an updated version at my wedding years ago).
English will never come close to the French in terms of taste and culture.
@@ucheokoroafor8273 Even though I have have English and German heritage, I am mostly insular and Continental Celt. I do agree that 500+ years ago--and even before--the French had the edge when it came to taste, culture, style and sophistication--and still do.
That's very interesting I'm trying to picture what your gown looked like.
Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to part 2. The narrator was really good- nice voice!
Any ETA on part 2 by chance?
Part 1 was good. Thank you. Please upload part 2.
Very well done and informative.
Very good, really, this is very good, concise, precise, and enjoyable
Literally left the Loire Valley today! I need the second episode, please! So intersting!
Great stuff! When will Part 2 be uploaded?
Henry VIII was the Lion of England and Francois I was the Lion of France. Two giant huge humanist Renaissance Kings ruling two kingdoms, forced to be enemies, but so similar in their great physical size, strength, love of music, art, architecture, and war.
Interestingly, Francis apparently held the edge when it comes to strength--during the meeting known as the Field of the Cloth-of-Gold--Francis beat Henry in a wrestling match. Needless to say, Henry was not happy about that lol
I'd compare Henry VIII to a pig
@@unemusiqueunjour Nah. Pigs have a lot more class
Well said!
KING FRANCIS IS MY 17th GREAT GRANDFATHER, IT IS SO GREAT TO LEARN ABOUT HIM!🫡
9:20 He had beautiful manners, was extremely well spoken chivalrous and always dressed in conspicuously gorgeous clothing although his facial features were unusual 💀
Watching from Kenya
What a great documentary
Great doc. What about part 2?
Excellent
10:05 Although beauty standards have altered somewhat since the Renaissance era, it seems a bit over the top to describe Francis as 'handsome."
When young I think Henry VIII was the better looking of the two, but I've seen worse than Francis.
@@harrietharlow9929 In Henry's case, the main fault did not lie in the model as such, but in the lack of maintenance ...
@@Michaelneiss Agreed. He really let himself gp in his forties.
Hello,
François the first measured 1.98m (77.95 inches) which, by the criteria of the time, made him a giant. He was also very "well-built" and very muscular, which is why people said: "Il porte beau" ("he wears handsome"). Louis XIV was 1.84m (72.44 inches), Louis XV was 1.75m (68.89 inches), Louis XVI was 1.91m (75.19 inches).
In fact, on the whole, the kings of France were rather very tall compared to the average height of the contemporary people of their time.
Yes, when is part deux?
Indeed!! His”fight” with HRE Charles V was almost 😅 personal in nature.
Francis, also had new fresh painters, like students under Titan. One is related in my genealogy. He was born in Florence in 1500 and died 1579. Some of his paintings are in Washington D.C., France, Italy, and Germany.

So? Who cares?!!
@@sharont2009 He has every right to be proud of this relative.
The mispronunciations--Papple for Payple, Capeeshun for Capayshun, etc.--are extremely annoying. The historical information may be mostly correct, but the inaccuracies are glaring and grate on the ear.
Super grating on the ear. They could pronounce François properly, so why not the rest of the names?
I think the narrator might be French? They have an excellent accent in English, but don't know how to pronounce some words properly in English.
American...they stuff up a lot of pronunciations.
@@delphinidin Non il n'est pas français à l'oreille, mais il s'agit plutôt d'un américain francophone.
It would be great story to listen to if only it had a narrator that could give it the flare it needed. We are talking about the king of France are we not?
That deserves a narrator that can give it justice& can capture your listeners.
Am I correct?.... Of course I am 🤗
No. None of your business anyway.
meh.
It's a mistake to call him in English Francis, because Francis, the name, do exist in French, so call by is real name François! And also François in old french means French!
Interesting. Thanks for that, I had no idea. I had a French friend in high school and his name was Francois and everybody called him that nobody called him Francis. I didn't even think to. Separately, I'm North American and speak English only and can communicate in Spanish if necessary it's a pretty easy language to learn AND when Listening to the French people speak their language it's literally impossible for me to imagine being able to understand them one day
@@dpm2515 However, these Latin languages are very close, and Spaniards and French understand each other quite quickly when they meet.
42:56 Henry VIII, although he was a mercurial sort, sided with the HRE because his wife Katarina Aragona,
was the 1st cousin of the Charles V...she wasn't going to let him get away with that kind of betrayal of
family.
An interesting side bar to all of this is that with the possible exception of Spain, all of these monarchs
were of frankish origin
This is a really great documentary, but the narrator's constant mispronunciations have me in stitches
Yes. It's a French documentary but with really El Cheapo amateur translation and voice-over. Pity.
I think they were trying to sound fancy
French names pronounced impeccably for a French speaker. Thank you!
Came here because I am distantly related to him, and wanted to learn more!
I love the dress, the color!!! 😱😭💞😎😊 Min 09:24
Me, too. I just love the French fashions of the era!
Oh please!! Where is the subsequent story????
@49:28 looks like the last moments of Leonard da Vinci
There are few absolutes in history, but one you see over and over is that it is rarely worth taking territory with military force against the will of the inhabitants.
Interesting
part 2 when?
Kevo was pipeline hukosekani?
Bien mon roi favorit. Vive François I!
Nice kenya i love🇮🇳
His grandsons reign where a disaster Francis ii Charles IX and Henry III the French wars of religion
the building model and the tree scale is very disturbing.
Love Francis I !
Really interesting document but it truly Annoyed me the of mispronunciations of MEDICI. The correct pronunciation is MEDICHI
From French speaker perspective, the prononciation is impeccable.
En français, c’est prononcé Médici.
Throughout the video, the narrator pronounces "papal" and "papacy" with a short A rather than a long A. I've looked this up to make sure, and the long A is correct.
i would remind you that there is really no such thing as received English spelling or pronunciation, merely the practise of the two universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and even those are persuasive, not binding . You cannot call someone wrong simply because they disagree with you.
Narrator sounds like Lt. Cmd. Data
France's was one the biggest best king
ODLIČNO,UZ MENE SVI ZAJEDNO BUDITE ,VOLIM VAS SVE...GREAT, EVERYONE TOGETHER BE WITH ME, I LOVE YOU ALL .izvini brat sto se reklamiram kod tebe ali moram jedino ovako skupicu bar nesto suba,nemam drugoga nacina..................
Leonardo da Vinci is buried in the chapel in Chateau de Amboise but a memorial is in the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence.
btw, Francois I is known as 'The Nose"
Franccoi I is my fourteenth great grandfather.
Is there a 2nd half? Because if there isn't its Interesting how the documentary stops right before Francis got his ass handed to him at Pavia.
Perhaps it would be interesting to pronounce Italian names in Italian (or at least not in French when speaking English). "medichi" rather than "medisee", for instance.
'Medisee' is particularly grating
Actually, this is how the French people pronounced the foreign names, by frenchified them. Catarina Medici was known if France as Catherine de Médicis. But those translations or modifications were not specific to France.
មានទាហានប៉ុន្មានពូជម៉ែអែងធ្វើរអាចម៏អិុបានខ្លះសូម្បីសត្វឆ្កែរវាមិនខ្លាច់ផង
I admire Francis the 1st very much, but why did the narrator remark he was handsome " his handsome appearance and and charm". The King was also known as François au Grand Nez ('Francis of the Large Nose'), It is extremely important to be careful when describing an individual with comment that are untrue. It doesn't matter what a king looks like to us centuries ago, but he should not have said handsome.
What an irrelevant comment
God Save The King!
Je pense que la relation du roi avec Jésus peut concerner les gens qui "empruntent" simplement son argent aux parties trompeuses.
All these rulers from the early and central decades of the XVI century were second and third to the biggest king of them all, the Holy Roman emperor Charles V and King of Spain Charles I. Francis was specially despicable, and he was humbled by Charles V after the Battle of Pavia, one of the biggest battle victories in the history of humankind.
I'm def going to read up on Charles V & I
I just watch a movie on this. N I'm wondering if the castle was made from a norman
Hi,what was the name of that movie please.
@@amandaican.1267 game of thrones
@@joannnorman7531 Thank-you.
Legitimated? I know it’s apparently an acceptable word, but it just sounds weird to me vs legitimized.
OMG...I was right on this part when I was reading your comment lolz what are the damn odds!!!

I know this sounds so shallow, but damn he was hot.
Also, it's his birthday in two days!
..😊
sadly the actor playing Francois I does not have the Valois nose. The actor has more of a pug nose.
I find it telling how the documentary deliberately avoids explaining why humanism sometimes had problems with the Church. It had nothing to do with humanism itself, the problem was that a small minority of philosophers would go too far from objective Truth and end up falling into pantheism and luciferianism. Luciferianism is the belief that man IS God. Some people would end up being enslaved by their passions from the constant nudes within art , etc. For some it ends up turning into smut. Before you know it, they become engaged in all types of deviancy and perversion. The final effect is the belief that man is the end all and be all of the universe, hence becoming worshipped as god = luciferianism. Then the philosophers who are falling into this extreme humanism, come up with erroneous ideas to justify their behavior.
..... kind of reminds one of the modern era...
Too bad the Papacy can no longer terrorise Europe, eh?
🇰🇪🇰🇪✌️
He was a bad King, he empoverished the country and spent his reign fighting against Spain. A jerk
Isn't that good?
Everybody in Europe fought against each other ! Unless they married their female relatives into the country ! Happened all the time !
🇭🇹🇲🇫
បានអាព្រះយេសូចាក់ការួយ. អូហូស្ដាច
CHOCONDA IS LIKE FEMALE FRANCOI
Um...I'm sorry. But Francois was not good looking.
Francis the 1st maybe was a good artist but wasn't a great king.. he made many mistakes inside and outside France, like helping Soliman and fighting against Charles V who wanted the union of Europe
suleiman didn't seek help from francis but it was francis who seek help from suleiman.
Francis begged Suleiman for troops and money, which the magnificent Ottoman Empire kindly provided.
Humm… Charles V did not want the union of Europe 🙂
Terrible costuming on the women.
Littered with a number of spurious value-judgements. Not subbing.
Umm, this channel didn't make the documentary, numbskull. Lol. Get a life
Such nonsense about reformation literacy - just because translations were available and printing possible didn’t mean people could all of a sudden read. Most had no time or inclination.
