r. Francis I (1 gen 1515 anni – 1 gen 1547 anni)

Descrizione:

Francis I was a patron of the arts and oversaw series of wars with the Holy Roman Empire.

He led France throughout parts of the Italian Wars. After the Habsburg-Valois War (part of the Italian Wars), France had to increase taxes and borrow heavily. To raise revenue, Francis I tried to use the sale of public offices (only a temporary source of income) and a treaty with the papacy (Concordat of Bologna).
