"I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry."

| |  | | | In Brief
This is a biography of the French monarch, who reigned from 1498 to 1515. Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Overshadowed by the spectacular rule of his successor, Francis I, Louis XII and his reign (1498-1515) have been much neglected by historians. While not in the front rank of the French monarchs, Louis XII, "The Father of the People," remains an interesting and appealing figure. The events of his reign were highly significant to the future of the French state: from the unremittingly brutal Italian campaigns to Henry VIII's invasion, from Louis's disputes with the Papacy to his marriage's political complications, France's church, legal system, and cultural life (most markedly the introduction of the Renaissance) were all subject to significant change, and many of the achievements commonly associated with Francis I were in fact rooted in those of his predecessor.
