HTML: The bestselling author of Catherine de Medici returns to sixteenth-century Europe in this evocative and entertaining biography that recreates a remarkable era of French history and brings to life a great monarch??Francis I??who turned France into a great nation. Catherine de Medici's father-in-law, King Francis of France, was the perfect Renaissance knight, the movement's exemplar and its Gallic interpreter. An aesthete, diplomat par excellence, and contemporary of Machiavelli, Francis was the founder of modern France, whose sheer force of will and personality molded his kingdom into the first European superpower.

Frieda has lively, conversational writing style and I found this an easy read. There are maps of France, the Empire, and Italy; genealogical charts for France and the Empire, and a list of principal characters; plates illustrating most of them; endnotes and a copious bibliography. ( )
